Challenges of disarmament

More about the book

The expiration of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START III) in February 2021 raises significant concerns about nuclear stability between the U.S. and Russia. Initially established in 2010 by Presidents Obama and Medvedev, the treaty allowed for a potential five-year extension. Current U.S. President Trump’s insistence on including China complicates negotiations, while Moscow advocates for an unconditional extension, emphasizing that maintaining START III is vital for national interests amid global tensions.
