Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the United States is pursuing a strategy to weaponize outer space with non-nuclear arms, rejecting Russia's initiative against deploying any weapons in that domain. He noted a lack of dialogue with the US regarding strategic stability and emphasized Russia's willingness to extend treaty restrictions for another year if the US reciprocates.

The US has not engaged in talks regarding the expiring Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which limits nuclear warheads. Lavrov highlighted US plans to expand its nuclear infrastructure in Europe and the development of the Golden Dome missile defense system. President Trump has indicated a preference for a new treaty that includes China's nuclear capabilities, despite China's opposition to US-imposed restrictions.
