US, Russia near temporary renewal of New START ahead of deadline

The United States and Russia are close to a draft plan to extend the New START nuclear pact beyond its expiration, with leaders expected to approve it; the extension would be a non-formal, six-month arrangement to observe treaty limits while negotiations on a longer-term agreement continue, preserving caps on strategic warheads and ongoing transparency. Talks occurred in Abu Dhabi alongside a resumption of military dialogue, but China’s exclusion from any future pact remains a key complicating factor.

Putin Bets War Will Last: The New Doctrine Steering Russia in Ukraine

Putin shows no plan to end the Ukraine war, embracing a broad “Putin doctrine” that prioritizes military aims and influence over diplomacy while Moscow faces growing economic strain and deeper social control. Trump’s bid to broker a deal has failed, and Russia maintains pressure with militarization and propaganda, betting it can endure hardship and sustain the conflict as a geopolitical pivot with the United States and China still shaping the balance of power. The postwar period, if it comes, is expected to be chaotic and contested rather than cooperative.
