The expiration of the New START treaty on February 5, 2026, without extension or replacement has left the United States and Russia without binding limits on strategic nuclear warheads and delivery systems for the first time since 1972. Russian President Putin had proposed a one-year informal continuation of the central quantitative caps, but the Trump administration declined, citing the need for a modernized agreement that also constrains China's expanding arsenal and addresses nonstrategic systems. Ongoing tensions from the Ukraine conflict continue to block resumption of verification measures and bilateral strategic stability talks, while U.S. officials have signaled openness to multilateral negotiations. No major diplomatic breakthroughs or new proposals have emerged in recent months, leaving prospects for a near-term formal deal dependent on broader improvements in U.S.-Russia relations and China's willingness to participate.

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.
