In accordance with the agreement between the United States and the USSR, concluded in 1988, on the reduction and limitation of strategic offensive arms (START), the parties had to inform each other about launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine missiles. This notification mechanism was to serve as a means of trust and transparency between the two countries.

However, the agreement was suspended in 2019 by the US, with allegations of Russia violating the treaty. Russia also suspended its own START obligations in response to US actions.

In light of these developments, Russia's announcement that they will continue to inform the US of ICBM and submarine launches can be seen as a gesture of goodwill. It shows that Russia is ready for dialogue and transparency in the field of military issues, despite the existing differences between the two countries.

Thus, this statement can serve as the beginning of a dialogue between the United States and Russia on the reduction and limitation of strategic offensive weapons, which can lead to a decrease in tension between the two countries and improve relations in general.
