WESTWar on the RocksRunning to Stand Still: Russian Nuclear Modernization after New START RUTASS (EN)US actions confirm proper structure of New START — senior Russian diplomat RUTASS (EN)US reluctant to extend New START to advance its nuclear forces — expert

A senior Russian diplomat told TASS that recent U.S. actions confirm the “proper structure” of the New START arms control framework, amid ongoing debate over whether the treaty should be extended. Russian officials and commentators are framing U.S. posture as linked to U.S. nuclear force modernization, while Western analysis is focusing on Russia’s nuclear modernization trajectory in the post–New START context. The issue matters because New START has been the primary bilateral framework governing U.S.-Russia strategic nuclear limits and verification, and its future affects strategic stability and transparency.
