FACTBOX: Main deals at Obama-Medvedev summit
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The United States and Russia reached agreements on Monday on arms cuts and Afghanistan during talks between President Barack Obama and Kremlin chief Dmitry Medvedev.
Below are details of the main agreements:
*ARMS CUTS
Obama and Medvedev agreed the outlines of a deal to reduce their strategic nuclear warheads to 1,500-1,675 within seven years of a new treaty coming into force.
The sides aim to agree a deal before the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) expires on December 5. The new deal will be a 10-year agreement.
Both sides are already committed to reducing their arsenals to between 1,700 and 2,200 warheads under the separate Moscow Treaty (SORT) that runs until 2012. But SORT does not include detail verifications procedures like START, which the new deal will include.
"The new treaty will include effective verification measures drawn from the experience of the parties in implementing START," said a White House fact sheet on the intended treaty.
* AFGHANISTAN
Russia agreed to allow the United States to fly weapons, hardware and personnel across its territory to Afghanistan. Continued...
