On September 22, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the Russian Security Council that Moscow is ready to continue adhering to the quantitative restrictions under the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) for another year after it expires in February. However, he noted that this measure would only be viable if Washington acted in a similar manner.
