Washington may increase its nuclear arsenal in the coming years to counter growing threats from Russia, China and other adversaries, said Pranai Waddy, senior director of the White House National Security Council. At the same time, Waddi believed that the United States follows the international obligation of arms control and non-proliferation. He expressed concern that Russia refuses to discuss alternative agreements that could replace the agreement on the reduction and limitation of strategic offensive weapons signed between Russia and the United States in 2010. Let us remind that the document expires in 2026. However, in February 2023, Moscow announced the unilateral suspension of Russia's participation in the agreement. Earlier, Vladimir Putin stated that Russia "does not wave nuclear weapons" and did not start the rhetoric of nuclear escalation, but if necessary, the country's nuclear doctrine can be changed: "The use of nuclear weapons can speed up the implementation of our goals, but the health of the Russian military at the frontline is more important," the Russian president added.
