Nuclear arms decline stalls as nations modernise arsenals,
Johannes LEDELYahoo News, 14 June 2021, ·As nuclear nations commit to renewing and sometimes expanding their arsenals, a decline seen since the early 1990s seems to have stalled, with some signs of a numerical increase, researchers said Monday
“The reduction of nuclear arsenals that we have gotten used to since the end of the Cold War appears to be levelling out,” Hans Kristensen, associate senior fellow at SIPRI’s Nuclear Disarmament, Arms Control and Non-proliferation Programme, told AFP.
The amount of nukes among the nine nuclear-armed states the US, Russia, the UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea totalled 13,080 at the start of 2021, a slight decrease from 13,400 a year earlier, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) estimated.
Relations with Russia at lowest point in many years, says NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg
