In an address to the UN general assembly, the US president castigated the Kremlin for its suspension, in February this year, of the 2010 New Start treaty, the last arms control agreement between the two countries.
That suspension, coupled with Russia's withdrawal from the treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe in 2007, was "irresponsible and makes the entire world less safe", the president said.
However, Biden insisted that the US "is going to continue to pursue good-faith efforts to reduce the threat of weapons of mass destruction and lead by example, no matter what else is happening in the world".
The statement appeared to be a confirmation that the US would continue the policy it has pursued since Vladimir Putin's suspension of New Start, by not going beyond the treaty's limits of 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads and 700 deployed delivery systems.
