Moscow: Moscow will restart talks with Washington on a new arms control treaty this month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday.
"We hope it will happen somewhere in the second half of January," Lavrov said in televised remarks.
The new deal will succeed the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, which expired on December 5. The two countries had hoped to reach a deal before the end of the year, but problems persist.
In late December, Moscow said it wanted Washington to share detailed data about the sea-and land-based systems the US plans. The systems would replace the plans to place interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar in the Czech republic.
