Russian Foreign Minister Talks About Concerns Regarding U.S. Strategic Stability Measures and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Preparations

【Lavrov: Russia pays attention to the U.S. initiatives in the field of strategic stability】

On the evening of December 29, 2025, Moscow time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov answered questions during an interview with the Russian state news agency:

We plan to closely monitor the relevant steps taken by the United States and comprehensively assess the situation - based on the overall situation in the strategic field. We are prepared to deal with any development of events.

Lavrov added:

Washington will have a clear response in Moscow. Most countries in the world are currently actively preparing for the upcoming Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in the spring of 2026. Obviously, their actions largely depend on the U.S. response to Russia's "Post-New START Treaty" initiative.
