n this daily strategic stability briefing, Thomas Lonely Wolf, Director of The DEFCON Warning System, examines four global developments from the past twenty-four hours that, while not altering the current DEFCON level, contribute to long-term nuclear risk and strategic instability.

Topics covered in this briefing include:
• Ukraine’s warning over strain on defence production and the potential impact on escalation dynamics
• A rise in Russian-linked hybrid and sabotage operations across Europe
• Public discussion in the United States regarding the possible resumption of nuclear weapons testing
• Renewed concerns surrounding the safety and stability of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant

The current status remains DEFCON 5 – Condition Green. There are no imminent nuclear threats at this time.

This broadcast focuses on understanding how conventional conflict, arms-control erosion, and hybrid warfare can interact with nuclear deterrence in ways that increase long-term risk.

The DEFCON Warning System provides independent analysis of global strategic stability and nuclear risk.
