Putin to Make “Important Statements” at Security Meeting: Reactions and Predictions
During a meeting of Russia’s Security Council, Vladimir Putin committed to upholding nuclear arms restrictions under the New START Treaty with the U.S. for a year after its expiration in February 2026. This announcement comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and NATO, particularly following airspace violations by Russian forces reported by Estonia and Poland. These developments coincide with the start of the United Nations General Assembly, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is holding meetings with leaders to address the ongoing conflict. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has warned of “big trouble” and is pushing for harsher sanctions, while key issues like territorial division and Ukrainian security remain roadblocks to a peace deal.
