This resolution strongly condemns Russia's nuclear escalatory rhetoric and its purported suspension of the New START Treaty , emphasizing the continued value of arms control agreements between the United States and Russia. It highlights the critical importance of these agreements for maintaining strategic stability and preventing an unrestrained nuclear arms race, especially given Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine and associated nuclear threats. The resolution also recalls the bipartisan support for nuclear arms control and the shared understanding that a nuclear war cannot be won. The resolution calls for Russia to immediately cease nuclear saber rattling and return to full implementation of the New START Treaty, including onsite inspections and data exchange. Furthermore, it urges the U.S. administration to actively pursue dialogue with Russia for a new nuclear arms control framework post-2026 and to continue respecting New START's numerical constraints in the interim. Finally, the resolution advocates for continued engagement with the People's Republic of China on bilateral talks for nuclear risk reduction and arms control, and for pursuing new multilateral arms control efforts to enhance global security.
