In February 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would withdraw from the New START arms reduction treaty, which was the last remaining arms control treaty between the two nations that together control almost 90% of the world’s nuclear warheads. Then, in March, Putin announced that Russia would place nuclear-capable ballistic missile systems in Belarus, which shares a border with Poland. Harvard Professor and national security expert Stephen P. Rosen discussed the implications of these events for the U.S. security and arms-control efforts, as well as the broader strategic landscape for nuclear weapons.
