Putin Offers Trump a One-Year Extension of U.S.-Russia Nuclear Arms Control Treaty
- On September 22, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia would continue to observe nuclear weapons restrictions for an additional year following the expiration of the final remaining U.S.-Russia treaty in February 2026.
- This announcement follows Russia’s suspension of participation in New START in February 2023 due to refusal to allow U.S. inspections amid heightened tensions and NATO assertions against Russia.
- Putin directed Russian authorities to keep a careful watch on U.S. activities related to strategic offensive arms and cautioned that any provocative actions would prompt an appropriate response from Russia.
- The New START treaty, signed in 2010 by Presidents Obama and Medvedev, restricts each party to a maximum of 1,550 nuclear warheads deployed on no more than 700 delivery systems, including missiles and bombers. Its comprehensive verification procedures have been inactive since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Putin urged the U.S. to reciprocate in maintaining limits, as arms control advocates warn that letting the treaty expire without dialogue risks destabilization and a renewed arms race.
