Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby Statement Regarding Russian ICBM

Russia properly notified the United States under its New START treaty obligations that it planned to test this ICBM. Such testing is routine and was not a surprise. We did not deem the test to be a threat to the United States or its allies. The Department remains focused on Russia's unlawful and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine.
