New START Treaty Extension Sparks Optimism Amid Tensions

Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed extending the New START agreement with the United States before its 2021 expiration.
The offer came amid stalled negotiations and suspended inspections due to the 2020 pandemic.
Putin reaffirmed the offer, mentioning battlefield nuclear weapons and new strategic systems.
U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed the extension as a 'good idea'.
The five-year extension aims to prevent a nuclear arms race and support strategic dialogue.
