ICAN Spending Report, 10.6.2025 (engl. Original)
As this report is published, around the world, the leaders of many countries, particularly in Europe and the Middle East, have embraced a renewed militarism, as evidenced by a historic surge in military spending. Nuclear weapons spending by the nine nuclear-armed states has grown to over $100 billion in 2024, while commentators in some nuclear-armed countries have discussed developing nuclear weapons and a handful of leaders have suggested taking part in new nuclear sharing arrangements.

As one example, on May 2025, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Russia Muhammad Khalid Jamali threatened to use “the full spectrum of power – both conventional and nuclear” in response to an Indian attack.
