The new week commenced with a notable decline in the market as anticipated, with BTC dropping to $111,800. The agenda is intense as world leaders converge in the United States for the United Nations assembly. During this period, it was expected that geopolitical tensions would also surface. Indeed, Russian President Vladimir Putin made significant statements concerning current international issues.
Russia and Nuclear Capabilities
This year, with the commencement of Trump’s term, the United States has shaken the global stage with aggressive maneuvers. These include economic tariffs, nuclear debates following the attacks on Iran, and threats towards Russia due to the Ukraine situation, further complicating matters. Recently, President Putin declared that Russia is prepared to respond to ongoing threats with military power if necessary.
He emphasized that “as a result of the destructive actions of the West,” the foundations for dialogue among nuclear-armed nations have been significantly weakened. He highlighted attention towards the START treaty, which will expire on February 5th. This treaty represents Russia’s ongoing nuclear agreement with the United States and will conclude in several months. However, Putin stated that Russia will adhere to the treaty’s restrictions unilaterally until February 5, 2027, after which they will analyze the situation before making a decision.
The United States, if it signs a treaty that respects nuclear limitations, will find Russia willing to comply with such an agreement.
