SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday accused Washington of not fulfilling its obligations under nuclear and chemical weapons treaties.

Putin said that despite calls to cooperate on global issues, the United States had demonstrated a “selfishness” that had seen Russia’s national interests ignored in the nuclear sphere.
