The New START treaty between the US and Russia is set to expire on February 5. “Even with the end of New START, it is not too late for the leaders of the two countries to put the world on a safer path by taking commonsense actions to build down the nuclear danger and launch serious and sustained nuclear disarmament negotiations,” Kimball said. He highlighted the necessity to invite other countries, including China, the UK, and France, to the negotiation table. Russian President Vladimir Putin previously announced that Moscow was ready to continue adhering to the New START limitations for one year after its February 2026 expiration, but only if the United States reciprocated. In response, US President Donald Trump reportedly called the proposal "a good idea."Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on January 29 that the United States had not yet responded to Russia's initiative regarding the treaty. Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin said on January 29 that Beijing welcomed Russia's positive approach concerning the proposed year-long extension of responsibilities under the New START.
