Russia "will not fulfill anything" under the CFE treaty alone, the president said at a meeting at the Russian Defense Minsitry on Tuesday.

"Some of our partners have not even signed the treaty, not to mention ratifying it. And as it is turning out must we wait for years? We will not wait for years. As soon as they join the adapted CFE Treaty,

and what is more fulfill it, Russia will consider the resumption of its obligations under the treaty," Putin said.
