President Vladimir Putin of Russia has initiated a new campaign for disarmament by proposing a reduction in the Russian and American nuclear arsenals by half. The plan involves cutting strategic nuclear warheads to 1,500 by 2008, which is less than the 3,000-3,500 warheads that were expected under the 1993 START-2 treaty.
