Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at the Security Council meeting that Russia is ready to respond to threats with force. He emphasized that strategic stability is deteriorating due to the West’s destructive actions, which have dismantled almost all cooperation mechanisms between nuclear powers. While stressing that Russia prioritizes diplomacy, he underlined confidence in its deterrent forces. Regarding the New START Treaty, set to expire in 2026, Putin said abandoning it would be a mistake. Russia supports maintaining the status quo and may continue observing the treaty’s limits for one year after expiration, provided the United States does the same.
