00:00 Vladimir Putin said to extend his presidency for another six years is steering Russia into

00:07 an uncertain future marked by escalating nuclear tensions with the United States.

00:14 As the clock ticks down on the last treaty-limiting warhead deployment, Putin's rhetoric grows

00:20 bolder, boasting about Russia's superior nuclear capability since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

00:29 In a bold move, Putin recently signed a law revoking Russia's ratification of the global

00:34 treaty banning nuclear testing.

00:37 While Moscow claims it won't conduct a test unless the US does, this raises concerns about

00:43 the stability of global security.

00:47 Security analysts speculate that as Putin faces challenges in Ukraine and sees diminishing

00:53 leverage through energy resources, nuclear weapons become a focal point in its strategy.

01:00 The Kremlin seems uninterested in discussions with Washington to reduce nuclear risks, believing

01:06 that the fear of resorting to nuclear weapons deters the US and its allies from directly

01:13 intervening in Ukraine.

01:15 Former diplomat Nikolai Sokov points out the contradictions.

01:20 How can nuclear risks be reduced when playing the nuclear card remains a visible and credible

01:25 threat?

01:26 By the start of Putin's expected new term, the New START treaty limiting both nations

01:32 to 1,550 strategic nuclear warheads will be on the verge of expiration in February 2026,

01:41 according to Sokov.

01:43 However, the prospects for an extension look uncertain, with China's nuclear build-up complicating

01:50 the matters.

01:52 Putin suspended Russia's participation in New START this year, linking any dialogue resumption

01:58 to a change in the US' fundamentally hostile course towards Russia.

02:04 Despite Putin's grandiose talk about Russia's new weapons systems, analysts like Nijelowel

02:11 Davies warn the strains on Russia.

02:14 Sanctions limiting technology access have been already resulting in high-tech failures

02:20 like crash of Russia's moon landing mission in August.

02:23 On the possibility of a new arms race, opinions differ.

02:28 While some, like Sokov, argue Russia's research and development are cost-effective, others,

02:34 like Owl Davies, highlight economic challenges.

02:37 Regardless, as Putin's presidency unfolds, the world braces for a future marked by uncertainty,

02:46 strain treaties and the spectre of an escalating nuclear arms race.
