President Vladimir Putin on Friday said Russia was developing new strategic weapons and it would not be critical for Moscow if the US declined to extend the warhead limits set out in a nuclear arms treaty that expired next year.

He said it would, however, be a shame if nothing remained of the arms control framework between the two countries, which had by far the world’s biggest nuclear arsenals. He said an arms race was already in progress.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
