START I expired 5 December 2009. Both sides agreed to continue observing the terms of the treaty until a new agreement is reached.<ref>{{citeCita web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8434260.stm |title=US rejects Russian missile shield concerns |datedata=29 December 2009 |publisher=BBC News}}</ref> There are proposals to renew and expand the treaty, supported by [[U.S. President]] [[Barack Obama]]. [[Sergei Rogov]], director of the Institute of the U.S. and Canada, said: "Obama supports sharp reductions in nuclear arsenals and I believe that Russia and the U.S. may sign in the summer or fall of 2009 a new treaty that would replace START-1". He added that a new deal would only happen if Washington abandoned plans to place elements of a missile shield in central Europe. He expressed willingness "to make new steps in the sphere of disarmament", however, saying they were waiting for the U.S. to abandon attempts to "surround Russia with a missile defense ring". This referred to the placement of ten [[National missile defense|interceptor missiles]] in [[Poland]], as well as an accompanying radar in the [[Czech Republic]].

[[Russian President]] [[Dmitri Medvedev]], said, the day after the U.S. elections, in his first state of the nation address, that Russia would move to deploy short-range [[Iskander missile]] systems in the western [[exclave]] of [[Kaliningrad]] "to neutralize if necessary the anti-ballistic missile system in Europe". Russia insists that any movement towards a new START should be a legally binding document, and must, then, set lower ceilings on the number of nuclear warheads, and their delivery vehicles.<ref name="RIAnovosti">http://en.rian.ru/russia/20081106/118158928.html</ref>
