Russia has presented a proposal to the United States to extend the New START treaty, currently in its final year. This agreement establishes a limit on the number of deployed strategic nuclear weapons each side possesses. Russia suggests extending the treaty for one additional year, effectively maintaining the current arms control framework. The offer was made during a meeting with U.S. officials, and the details of the specific terms are currently under negotiation. This action is part of a broader effort to secure further stability in strategic nuclear deterrence.
