The latter three became non-nuclear weapons states under the Treaty on the non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1 July 1968 (NPT) as they committed to do under the Lisbon Protocol (Protocol to the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms) after becoming independent nations in the wake of the breakup of the Soviet Union . </P> <P> Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine have disposed of all their nuclear weapons or transferred them to Russia, while the U.S. and Russia have reduced the capacity of delivery vehicles to 1,600 each, with no more than 6,000 warheads . </P> <P> A report by the US State Department called "Adherence to and Compliance With Arms Control, Nonproliferation and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments" which was released on July 28, 2010, stated that Russia was not in full compliance with the treaty when it expired on 5 December 2009 . The report did not specifically identify Russia's compliance issues . </P> <P> One incident that occurred in regards to Russia violating the START I treaty occurred in 1994 .

Russia justified this incident claiming that it did not have to follow all of START's reporting policies in regards to missiles that had been recreated into space - launch vehicles . In addition to the SS - 19, Russia was also reportedly using SS - 25 missiles to assemble space - launch vehicles . The issue that the United States had with this was that it did not have accurate numbers and locations of Russian ICBM's with these violations . The dispute was later resolved in 1995 . </P>
