Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia will maintain a moratorium on nuclear arms limits, contingent on the U.S. doing the same, following the expiration of the New START treaty. This treaty, originally signed in 2010 and extended until 2026, limited both nations to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads. While there is ongoing U.S. debate about future arms control, recent discussions have focused on high-level military communications rather than new agreements. Tensions remain as both countries consider resuming nuclear weapons testing in response to each other’s actions.
