plutonium<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"979\">Russian dictator <strong>Vladimir Putin<\/strong> signed a decree on <strong data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"793\">denouncement of the agreement with the United States on the disposal of weapons-grade plutonium<\/strong>, The company's shareholder is the owner of the company.<br data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"820\" \/>The document stipulated that <strong data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"897\">Both states should destroy 34 tonnes of plutonium each<\/strong>, previously used to make nuclear warheads and declared surplus.<\/p>\n<hr

data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1106\">Reduce stockpiles of materials suitable for nuclear weapons<\/strong>, and was considered one of the most important elements of the post-Cold War arms control system.<br data-start=\"1208\" data-end=\"1211\" \/>In general, it was about <strong data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1253\">68 tonnes of plutonium<\/strong>, sufficient to produce more than <strong data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1319\">17,000 nuclear warheads<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1483\">Russia and the United States have pledged to reprocess plutonium into fuel for nuclear reactors, but the programme has been halted several times due to technical and financial difficulties.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1488\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1490\" data-end=\"1514\">The Kremlin's explanation<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1661\">Putin's decree states that the decision was made in connection with \u00ab<strong data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1613\">a threat to strategic stability<\/strong>\u00bb by the US and \u00abunfriendly actions by Washington\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1884\">The Kremlin says the deal has \u00ablost its meaning\u00bb because <strong data-start=\"1714\" data-end=\"1758\">US changes technology for plutonium destruction<\/strong> and \u00abbreached their original obligations\u00bb.<br data-start=\"1795\" data-end=\"1798\" \/>According to the Russian leadership, this \u00abundermines the balance in the nuclear deterrent\u00bb.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1886\" data-end=\"1889\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1891\" data-end=\"1912\">The world's reaction<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1914\" data-end=\"2174\">American experts have already called Moscow's move <strong data-start=\"1960\" data-end=\"2025\">another demonstrative violation of international agreements<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2029\" \/>Washington may view the denunciation as an attempt to use the
