MOSCOW, July 25 (RIA Novosti) - Russia and the United States will hold a regular round of talks on arms cuts in Geneva in late August - early September, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Saturday.

Russia and the U.S. met July 22-24 in Geneva to continue talks on a new strategic arms reduction treaty to replace START 1.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and U.S. President Barack Obama signed an agreement on July 6 outlining the provisions of the final treaty, including cutting their countries' nuclear arsenals to 1,500-1,675 operational warheads and delivery vehicles to 500-1,000.

Moscow has linked progress in the talks to concessions on Washington's plans to deploy new missile defense bases in Europe.
