Barack Obama, the US president, has said the US and Russia have agreed to "reset" their relationship after the two countries reached a preliminary deal on reducing their stockpiles of nuclear weapons.
Obama said after talks with his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, in Moscow on Monday: "As the world's two leading nuclear powers, the United States and Russia must lead by example, and that is what we are doing here today."
"Within seven years after this treaty comes into force, and in future, the limits for warheads linked to ... [strategic delivery systems should be] within the range of 1,500-1,675 units," the framework agreement read.
