Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:44:22 GMT

The global system that once limited the rapid proliferation of arms is at risk of extinction, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned on Tuesday, as he rebuked Russia and China.“We stand at a crossroads,” the NATO chief said at a conference on arms control organized by the alliance and the U.S. State Department. “In one direction lies the collapse of the international arms control order and the unrestricted proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, with profoundly dangerous consequences,” Stoltenberg said. But, he added: “There is an alternative way ahead — one where we do the work, however difficult.”His remarks come just weeks after Russia suspended its participation in the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty it had with the United States — putting a coda on a period of eroding arms control pacts worldwide.  The development has occurred alongside a significant arms buildup from both Russia and China, as well as Moscow’s wartime nuclear saber-r...

Ahead of the hearing he even flashed a couple of smiles at some of those colleagues and attendants he recognized, before the courtroom was emptied and the hearing began. Espionage cases in Russia are veiled in secrecy and held behind closed doors.A handful of journalists were al...
