flag Russia and China call for space arms treaty, warn of rising nuclear instability as key treaties expire.

flag Russia and China have urged global strategic stability in a joint statement marking the 80th anniversary of WWII’s end, opposing the militarization of space and calling for a treaty to ban weapons in orbit. flag They criticized U.S. space military initiatives like “Golden Dome” and advocated for a pledge not to be first to deploy space weapons, emphasizing equal security for all nations. flag Meanwhile, the U.S.-Russia New START treaty, set to expire in February 2026, will lose its verification mechanisms, weakening nuclear transparency. flag The upcoming NPT Review Conference faces a high risk of failure, further undermining global arms control as new technologies and a multipolar nuclear landscape increase instability.
