Global NGO Coalition Warns of New Nuclear Arms Race as Weapons Spending Surges

A global coalition of non-governmental organizations has warned that the world faces a new nuclear arms race as military spending on nuclear weapons increased by nearly 20 percent last year. The dramatic rise in nuclear weapons expenditures signals a concerning escalation in global military tensions and represents a significant shift away from disarmament efforts that have been pursued in recent decades. The warning comes amid rising geopolitical tensions worldwide, with major nuclear powers appearing to prioritize modernization and expansion of their atomic arsenals over diplomatic solutions and arms control agreements.
