SpaceWar.com reports: “The Kremlin said Friday it wanted to resume nuclear disarmament talks with the United States ‘as soon as possible’, a day after President Donald Trump said he wanted the world to ‘denuclearize’

Negotiations between the world’s two largest nuclear powers have been left at an impasse amid tensions over the Ukraine conflict.

Moscow pulled out of the last remaining arms control agreement with Washington, called ‘New START’, in 2023 amid a sharp deterioration in relations between the two countries.

Both have indicated they will unilaterally adhere to the warhead limits outlined in the treaty until 2026, but they are yet to agree on a replacement and talks have stalled for months.

‘We are interested in starting this negotiation process as soon as possible,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.

‘The ball is in the Americans’ court, who have stopped all substantive contacts,’ he added.

In remarks at Davos on Thursday, Trump said he would also want China involved in talks on nuclear arms control…”
