However, a clear and overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such an agreement has been reached will also qualify.Tensions from the ongoing Ukraine conflict and suspended bilateral diplomacy have kept prospects for a new U.S.-Russia strategic arms control agreement low following New START's February 2026 expiration. Russia has conditioned any talks on reversal of Western sanctions and security guarantees, while U.S. officials have emphasized verification and limits on nonstrategic weapons. Recent missile deployments, intermediate-range system tests, and mutual accusations of treaty violations have further eroded trust. No high-level negotiations or summits are scheduled in the near term, and traders appear to weigh the slim historical precedent for rapid deals amid active hostilities against the possibility of back-channel progress if battlefield conditions shift.
