The tensions in international relations due to the Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East have led to setbacks in diplomatic efforts to control nuclear weapons. A report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute revealed a decrease in total global nuclear warheads but an increase in operational warheads annually, with China leading in expanding its nuclear arsenal. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg mentioned discussions on deploying more nuclear weapons to respond to growing threats from Russia and China, with a focus on modernizing nuclear capabilities. However, Russia criticized Stoltenberg's comments, emphasizing its own commitment to nuclear issues. As global security continues to deteriorate, scholars warn that the world is in one of the most dangerous periods in human history and urge major powers to step back and reflect on the situation.
