MOSCOW, Feb 3, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The Kremlin warned on Tuesday that the world was heading into a "dangerous" moment as the last US-Russia nuclear treaty is set to expire this week.

"In just a few days, the world will be in a more dangerous position than it has ever been before," spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, days before the New START treaty is due to lapse.

The Kremlin, which has offered to extend some of the terms, added that the world's top two nuclear powers "will be left without a fundamental document that would limit and control these arsenals."
