The ELN’s Group Statement, appealing to the US government to extend the New START Treaty, has been included in The Guardian article “Nuclear arms talks spiral into confusion as Russia rejects US ‘delusion'”.

“Senior parliamentarians from across Europe wrote to their US counterparts on Tuesday urging them to support a New Start extension. In the letter, organised by the European Leadership Network, the MPs from 19 countries said: “As officials who strive to protect the health and security of millions of European citizens, we feel distressed by the possibility that New Start may lapse in less than six months”.
