Overview

  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said President Vladimir Putin has not ordered preparations for nuclear tests and that the issue is under expert review.
  • Putin asked defense, foreign and intelligence agencies to submit a consensus proposal on possibly beginning preparations, and Sergei Lavrov said work on proposals is underway, according to TASS.
  • No decision to conduct a test has been announced, with Moscow reiterating its commitment to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and hinting at reciprocal moves only if the United States proceeds.
  • Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzia warned that a U.S. return to nuclear testing would be extremely dangerous and could fuel a new arms race.
  • The debate follows President Donald Trump’s statement that the United States intends to resume nuclear testing and a subsequent unarmed U.S. ICBM launch.
