NEW YORK, February 21. /TASS/. The US will examine any practical consequences of Russia’s suspension of participation in the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, US State Department Spokesman Ned Price said on CNN on Tuesday.

He said the US has seen "irresponsibility in this realm over the past year from the Russians," referring to compliance with the treaty’s provisions.

"But we’ll have to see about the practical impact (of Russia’s pullback from the treaty - TASS). It's unclear if there will be any practical impact," Price said.
