Global Concerns Rise as Number of Operational Nuclear Weapons Increases Amid Ukraine Conflict

As the conflict in Ukraine intensifies, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reports a concerning rise in the number of operational nuclear weapons globally. The lack of transparency from Russia and the USA following the Russian attack on Ukraine adds to the escalating tensions.

NATO is considering deploying more nuclear weapons in response to threats from Russia and China, while SIPRI warns of the alarming trend of increasing ready-to-use nuclear weapons. The situation in Ukraine worsens as Russian attacks on power plants lead to widespread power outages, impacting the daily lives of Ukrainians.

As geopolitical tensions heighten, the prominence of nuclear arms in international relations underscores the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to control and reduce the growing nuclear threat.
