The expiration of the New START treaty on February 5, 2026, without extension or successor left the United States and Russia without binding limits on strategic nuclear forces for the first time in decades. Russia has stated it will observe the prior warhead and delivery vehicle caps as long as Washington does the same, while the Trump administration has prioritized negotiations for a new, modernized agreement that could incorporate China and updated verification measures. Bilateral discussions remain constrained by the ongoing Ukraine conflict and differing positions on verification, nonstrategic systems, and multilateral participation. Recent U.S. envoy visits to Moscow in early September 2026 focused on Ukraine ceasefire efforts, which could create openings for parallel arms control talks, though no formal nuclear agreement has advanced. Upcoming diplomatic contacts or policy shifts on sanctions and security guarantees will likely shape prospects for any near-term deal.

Only agreements that are publicly announced and acknowledged by both the U.S. and Russia will qualify. The agreement must pertain to nuclear arms control or limitation—such as a treaty, framework, or memorandum—addressing matters including (but not limited to) nuclear warheads, delivery systems, verification mechanisms, or strategic stability.
An extension, amendment, or replacement of the New START treaty will qualify, provided it is publicly announced as a concluded agreement by both parties within the time frame. Exploratory discussions or stated intent to extend without a finalized agreement will not qualify.
Agreements that include both the United States and Russia as named parties—whether bilateral or as part of a broader multilateral framework—will qualify, provided the agreement directly addresses nuclear arms control.
The agreement does not need to be ratified or implemented for this market to resolve "Yes"; a formal announcement of a concluded agreement is sufficient.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the U.S. government (e.g., the White House, State Department) and/or the Russian Federation (e.g., the Kremlin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs). However, a clear and overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such an agreement has been reached will also qualify.
