The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) between the U.S. and Russia, which was signed in 2010, has reached its expiration date of February 5th. This treaty limited the number of nuclear warheads each country could possess and marked a significant step towards reducing nuclear arsenals worldwide.

Just hours after the treaty's expiration, the U.S. and Russia announced plans to hold high-level military talks. These discussions are expected to focus on issues related to nuclear disarmament, arms control, and regional security concerns. The exact details of these talks remain unclear, but experts believe they could be a crucial step towards preventing further escalation between the two nations.
Implications for Global Security
