In Warsaw, when asked about Putin's statement in regard to the New Start treaty by journalist, Biden sufficed by saying that it was a "big mistake". 

Biden made the brief remark in Warsaw before meeting with the leaders of six nations on NATO's eastern flank to discuss support for Kiev.

When first presented with the question, Biden dismissed it saying he didn't have time. After a pause, Biden described it as a "big mistake". 

Russia's suspension of the treaty was announced during Biden's busy diplomatic visits to eastern Europe to liaise with the leaders of NATO member states. 

The New START pact (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty), first signed in April 2010, prohibits the United States and Russia from possessing more than 1,550 nuclear warheads on delivery systems. The bilateral treaty effectively serves as a treaty for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons between the two major powers under a set of conditions that ensure the safety of both parties.
