⚡️🇺🇳🇷🇺🇺🇸 UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called on the United States and Russia to engage in talks on an agreement to succeed the New START treaty, Stephane Dujarric, Spokesman for the UN Secretary General, told a briefing.

“He also urged the United States and the Russian Federation to negotiate a successor framework to the New START treaty,” he said. “He warned that we are at the most dangerous nuclear moment since the end of the Cold War, with arsenals expanding, nuclear rhetoric growing louder and safeguards built over decades of breaking down.”

“He called on countries possessing nuclear weapons to return to dialogue, to prevent any use of a nuclear weapon and reduce the role of nuclear weapons in their security policies,” the spokesman said.
