US National Security Advisor arrives in Moscow

WASHINGTON - The United States national security advisor John Bolton has begun meetings with senior Russian officials following Washington's announcement of its withdrawal from a Cold War-era nuclear weapons treaty.

John Bolton met with his Russian counterpart, Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev today while he also speaks about the treaty with President Vladimir Putin tomorrow.

Meanwhile, talking to newsmen Russian President's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said ditching the treaty will make the world more dangerous and rejected US claims Moscow has violated the pact.

He said it is the United States that is eroding the foundations and main elements of this pact with its missile defense capabilities and drones.
