Russia Warns Trump Against Nuclear Testing Resumption Amid Hostile U.S. Policy
Dec 27, 2024, 12:08 PM
Russia has warned the incoming administration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump against resuming nuclear testing, stating that Moscow is considering a range of possible measures in response. This warning comes from Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who oversees arms control, as reported by the Kommersant newspaper. Ryabkov highlighted that the international situation is currently extremely difficult and described U.S. policy as 'extremely hostile' toward Russia. He emphasized that Russia would not rule out any options in ensuring its security, indicating a readiness to take action if the U.S. proceeds with nuclear tests. Ryabkov pointed out Trump's radical position on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) during his first term, noting that the last U.S. nuclear test was in 1992 and the last Soviet test in 1990.
