​​​​Introduction

The Multilateral Dialogue of the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation in Vienna, together with Atomic Reporters, invites you to an online discussion about the New START – The Next Steps on the future of nuclear arms control between the Russian Federation and the United States. The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) was signed 8 April 2010, in Prague and entered into force on 5 February 2011. On 3 February 2021, the two sides agreed to extend New START by five years, as allowed by the Treaty, until 5 February 2026. New START limits each side to 1,550 accountable nuclear warheads and 700 deployed (along with 100 non-deployed) strategic nuclear delivery vehicles (ballistic missiles and heavy bombers), and has a framework of intrusive on-site inspections. There are various proposals for the next steps, such as, bringing in China, counting all types of nuclear warheads and delivery systems, limits on missile defences, among others.
