Putin Suspended the Last Remaining Nuclear Pact With the U.S. Here's What Happens Now.

The article discusses the suspension of Russia's participation in the New START treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the U.S. and Russia, highlighting the deteriorating security situation as the war in Ukraine continues. Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement follows a speech condemning the West and emphasizes the growing tensions between the two nuclear superpowers. The New START treaty, established in 2010, limits each country to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and includes monitoring provisions, which are now at risk due to the suspension. Experts express concern that this move could lead to a renewed arms race and further destabilize global security, as both nations already possess sufficient nuclear capabilities to cause widespread destruction.
