Fifteen years ago, Russia and the United States signed the New START treaty to limit their nuclear arsenals. In 2021, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden agreed to extend the agreement — but it’s now set to expire next year. Analysts and international security experts are raising concerns: New START is effectively the last remaining arms control treaty between the two countries, playing a crucial role in curbing nuclear stockpiles and preventing a new arms race. At the same time, Russia continues to heighten tensions with its rhetoric, repeatedly threatening Ukraine’s Western allies with nuclear strikes. #Meduza examines why reaching a new agreement on nuclear deterrence may prove difficult — even as Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump grow closer.
