CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Russia has expressed serious doubts about the extension or renewal of its nuclear arms control agreement with the United States, citing severely damaged diplomatic relations. With the existing treaty nearing expiration, officials in Moscow have indicated that the prospects for dialogue are “bleak” due to ongoing tensions and mutual distrust. The collapse of communication channels, intensified by geopolitical conflicts and sanctions, has further strained the possibility of constructive negotiations.
The current situation threatens to destabilize decades of arms control progress established by agreements like New START. Experts warn that without a new framework or extension, a dangerous nuclear arms race could re-emerge. As global powers remain divided, the world watches anxiously for any sign of diplomatic thaw or renewed commitment to arms reduction. This development marks a critical juncture in international security, where the absence of trust could have long-term global consequences. Both Washington and Moscow face pressure from the international community to avoid escalation and seek common ground for the sake of global stability.
