There are several plausible reasons for nuclear weapons states to reduce their arsenals. Avoiding dangerous miscalculation with severe consequences, fostering international confidence and trust through transparent disarmament processes, and financial constraints in times of fiscal austerity, are only a few among many other arguments to seek significantly lower numbers. The rationale of downsizing nuclear arsenals is largely undisputed. What is disputed, however, is the concrete path of how to move forward. For overcoming technical and political-military impediments to further nuclear reductions, realistic assessment, creative concepts, and pragmatic solutions are needed. The task of the Deep Cuts Commission is to address the key challenges to significantly lowering nuclear weapons arsenals and to devise concepts on how to overcome current challenges to (deep) nuclear reductions through means of realistic analyses and specific recommendations.

Great to see Network Member @alexanderkmentt has written a piece on the importance of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons #TPNW for @BulletinAtomic. Especially in the face of yesterday's announcement that we are 90 seconds to midnight on the #DoomsdayClock. twitter.com/BulletinAtomic…

As the independent U.S.-European-Russian @deepcutsproject said in Dec. '22 "Waiting for an end to the conflict in Ukraine to resume engagement on nuclear arms control undermines the security of Russia, the United States, and the world."

Ru Dep FM Ryabkov: "New date for the New START BCC meeting has not been set, the situation is not conducive for it including b/c of US escalatory rhetoric and actions". Which means no inspections as well. This is not sustainable in the long run ria.ru/20230123/vstre…
