Russia and US Could Reach New Strategic Arms Control Deal, Says Putin
Thursday, 14 August 2025 () President Vladimir Putin has indicated that Russia and the United States could potentially reach a new agreement on strategic offensive arms control in future stages of their dialogue, as preparations for the upcoming Alaska summit move forward. Putin Discusses Strategic Arms Control Prospects Speaking at a meeting on preparations for the high-level talks, Putin said discussions focused on “where we currently stand with the American administration” and the need to “create long-term conditions for peace between our countries, in Europe, and in the world as a whole — if, at the next stages, we come to agreements in the field of strategic offensive arms control.” Background: Russia’s Suspension of the New START Treaty In 2023, Russia suspended its participation in the New START Treaty, which limits strategic nuclear arsenals. At the time, Putin explained that Moscow was being denied full inspections under the treaty, with requests to examine certain facilities either ignored or rejected on formal grounds. Meanwhile, the US and NATO openly declared their intention to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia. “And what, after that they expect to casually travel around our defense sites, including the newest ones?” Putin remarked.
