Abstract
There is great uncertainty about the numbers and locations of
Russian non-strategic nuclear weapons (NSNW). This project will
establish a Track II dialogue between Russian and American experts
that provides a basis for understanding the specific challenges to
negotiations to reduce these weapons. In light of Russia’s actions in
Crimea, Track II discussions will focus on how the crisis might
affect thinking about NSNW as well as the political and technical
factors that could influence efforts towards transparency.
While PASCC has supported other U.S.-Russia strategic dialogues,
none are specific to NSNW and yet NSNW are a key area of
nuclear-weapon disagreement and are directly related to another
area of significant disagreement, missile defense. Discussions will
illuminate whether a narrower scope for reductions and applicable
verification might be possible, feasible, and/or desirable.
