The risk of a nuclear strike is the highest in a decade: Guterres calls on US, Russia for new deal<\/h2>\n

The world is facing the highest risk of nuclear weapons use in decades. This was stated by UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/strong>, calling for Russian Federation and the United States of America<\/strong> conclude a new arms control agreement.<\/p>\n

Termination of the START Treaty<\/h3>\n

The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which expired at midnight on 4 February, limited the number of strategic nuclear warheads and their delivery vehicles that the United States and Russia could deploy.<\/p>\n

After its expiry, for the first time in more than half a century, there are virtually no binding restrictions on the strategic nuclear arsenals of the two states that possess the vast majority of global nuclear weapons stockpiles.<\/p>\n

Statement by the UN Secretary-General<\/h3>\n

According to Guterres, the current situation creates dangerous uncertainty in global security.<\/p>\n

He stressed that for the first time in decades, the international community is facing a world without a legally binding framework for controlling the strategic nuclear forces of the United States and the Russian Federation, which significantly increases the risk of escalation.<\/p>\n

A call for new arrangements<\/h3>\n

The UN Secretary-General called on Washington and Moscow to start negotiations on a new arms control agreement as soon as possible, which could restore deterrence and transparency in the area of strategic stability.<\/p>\n

Context.<\/h3>\n

For decades, the system of bilateral treaties between the United States and Russia has remained a key element of the global nuclear security architecture. Its weakening is taking place against the backdrop of a general deterioration in international relations, Russia's war against Ukraine, and rising geopolitical tensions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
