Russia has accused the West of engaging in a “destructive and egocentric” proxy war, blaming NATO expansion for rising global instability. Speaking at the UN, Russian Arms Control Director Oleg Postnikov stressed Moscow’s willingness to extend adherence to the New START nuclear treaty for one year, provided Washington reciprocates. President Putin downplayed the US decision not to extend nuclear limits, calling it “no big deal,” while Washington warned of growing nuclear threats. Russia condemned Western actions as undermining peace, highlighting its offer as a stabilizing move amid escalating tension.
