Russia Moves Swiftly Toward Revoking Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Ratification

Russia Moves Swiftly Toward Revoking Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Ratification
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Russia has signalled its intention to quickly withdraw its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), raising concerns about the possibility of resuming nuclear testing. This development comes after President Vladimir Putin hinted at the potential for renewed nuclear testing.

While Putin stated that Russia’s nuclear doctrine, outlining the conditions for using nuclear weapons, didn’t require an update, he refrained from definitively stating whether Moscow would resume nuclear tests.

In response, the Kremlin chief suggested that Russia might consider revoking its ratification of the CTBT, drawing a parallel with the United States, which signed but never ratified the treaty.

Vyacheslav Volodin, Russia’s top lawmaker, announced that the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, would promptly assess the need to revoke Russia’s ratification of the treaty. These statements from Putin and Volodin strongly indicate Russia’s serious contemplation of withdrawing from the treaty, which prohibits nuclear explosions worldwide.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified that Russia’s objective was to establish a “common denominator” with the United States and emphasized that this move did not constitute an intention to conduct nuclear tests. However, Putin had previously suggested such a possibility, stating that experts often recommend testing new weapons to ensure their reliability.

The resumption of nuclear tests by Russia, the United States, or China could potentially trigger a new nuclear arms race among major powers. These nations had ceased nuclear testing in the years following the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991.

For some scientists and activists, the history of nuclear bomb testing during the Cold War served as a stark reminder of the dangers of nuclear brinkmanship, which has the potential to annihilate humanity and contaminate the planet for hundreds of thousands of years.

Tensions between Moscow and Washington have escalated significantly due to the Ukraine conflict, reminiscent of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Meanwhile, China aims to bolster its nuclear arsenal as it solidifies its status as an emerging superpower.

According to the Federation of American Scientists, Russia currently possesses approximately 5,889 nuclear warheads, compared to 5,244 for the United States. China holds 410 warheads, with France having 290 and Britain 225. This evolving situation raises concerns about the future of nuclear stability and arms control on a global scale.
