Divya Delhi:  KL/Geneva Feb. 27 According to Russian security director Sergei Shoigu, "Any machine requires supervision and repair, or maintenance. This mechanism is intricate and requires ongoing care. Naturally, entering this system with a crowbar and regulating it with improper tools fails. In a year, the strategic nuclear forces pact will expire, affecting security. What next? Extend or create? Many issues must be settled with the incoming US administration. Our position is clear. The previous Biden government extended it for five years. One issue is that the five-year term expires in a year "In a meeting with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Russian Security Council Secretary Shoigu told Tass. On the sidelines of the 58th UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin told RIA Novosti that Moscow is ready to discuss multilateral disarmament and arms control accords. "But it demands diligent, full-time work. "Most importantly, partners' constructive attitude based on respect for each other to ensure strategic stability," he said. Gennady Gatilov, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva, said Washington is not ready to resume nuclear disarmament talks with Russia. Russian media said that strategic weapons dialogue has not been discussed since the Russia-US New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) expires on February 5, 2026. However, US President Donald Trump has offered a tripartite summit with Russia and China on the subject. Trump told reporters at the White House, "The meeting I want to have first is a meeting with China and a meeting with Russia on slowing down, stopping, and reducing nuclear weapons, in particular." Added, "We have many. We, they, and China are constructing nuclear weapons that could kill the globe 50 or 100 times." Trump suggested the three nations cut military spending in half. Putin recently approved the notion and claimed the US and Russia could cut the defense budget by 50%, and China can join later.
