Washington is "concerned" by Moscow's talk of withdrawing ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
Reuters reported that there is concern in the US State Department about Russia's plans to withdraw ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
A US State Department spokesman said in a statement reported by Reuters: “We are concerned about Ulyanov’s comments Such a move by any participating country unnecessarily jeopardizes global standards prohibiting nuclear explosion tests.”
Washington claims that Moscow wants to increase pressure on other countries to stop helping Ukraine.
Earlier, during his speech at the Valdai Discussion Club meeting, President Vladimir Putin raised the issue of withdrawing ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
After that, the Speaker of the Russian State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said that the Presidency of the Council will inevitably discuss at its next meeting the issue of canceling the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
Volodin stressed that this is completely in line with the national interests of the Russian Federation, and is considered an identical reaction to the behavior of the United States, which has not yet ratified the treaty.
On September 24, 1996, the United Nations General Assembly approved the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
The document prohibits experimental explosions of nuclear charges, as well as nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes. The ban applies to all areas (in the air, in space, underwater and underground) and is absolute and comprehensive in nature. But the treaty did not enter into force, because the United States, Egypt, Israel, Iran, and China did not ratify it, and India, North Korea, and Pakistan did not sign it.
