Expressing support for the continued value of arms control agreements and condemning the Russian Federation’s purported suspension of its participation in the New START Treaty.
This Senate resolution condemns Russia's suspension of the New START Treaty, which is the last major bilateral nuclear arms control agreement between the United States and Russia and limits each country's nuclear warheads and delivery systems. The resolution expresses support for arms control agreements and calls on Russia to immediately resume full participation in the treaty, including on-site inspections and data sharing that have provided transparency into Russia's nuclear arsenal. The resolution also condemns Russia's nuclear threats related to its invasion of Ukraine and calls on the President to continue engaging both Russia and China in nuclear arms control discussions to maintain strategic stability and prevent an uncontrolled nuclear arms race. The New START Treaty is set to expire in February 2026 unless a new framework is negotiated, making this resolution a statement of the Senate's commitment to nuclear diplomacy during an escalating conflict. No funding or implementation timeline is involved, as this is a non-binding expression of the Senate's position rather than legislation that authorizes spending or creates new programs.
