Short speech outline

Opening Statement- Good morning! This is my summarization of a CNN news article.

Source Citation- “Putin Pulls Back from Last Remaining Nuclear Arms Control Pact with the
US.” Picheta, Rob, et al. CNN, Cable News Network, 21 Feb. 2023,
https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/21/europe/putin-russia-new-start-nuclear-pact-intl/
index.html.

Information- Putin temporarily terminated Russia’s involvement in the last acting treaty that

balances nuclear powers amongst The United States and Russia. The article also explains that

Russia has violated terms of the treaty multiple times by denying the U.S authority to inspect

facilities and recently used nuclear threats. This would cause the Americans to strengthen

homeland defenses, but after a brief assessment the Americans concluded that the Russians

posed no threat.
