Putin ups tensions over Ukraine, suspending START nuke pact<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russian President Vladimir Putin has suspended Moscow\u2019s participation in the last remaining nuclear arms control pact with the U.S. He announced the move Tuesday in a bitter speech where he made clear he would not change his strategy in the war in Ukraine. In his long-delayed state-of-the-nation address, Putin cast his country and Ukraine as victims of Western double-dealing. He said it was Russia, not Ukraine, fighting for its very existence. The speech reiterated a litany of grievances that the Russian leader has frequently offered as justification for the widely condemned military campaign while vowing no military let-up in a conflict that has reawakened fears of a new Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
