Putin Signs Bill Revoking Ratification of CTBT
10:19 02.11.2023 (Updated: 10:44 02.11.2023) Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu stated that Russia's refusal to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) does not mean the destruction of this regime of military-strategic balance.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed the bill to revoke the ratification of the CTBT, according to the relevant document published on the official legal information portal on Thursday.
During the plenary session of the Valdai Discussion Club earlier last month, Putin said that Moscow could mirror Washington's stance, withdrawing the ratification of the treaty from the lower house of the parliament.
Russian parliamentary speaker Vyacheslav Volodin later said that the lower house will consider withdrawing the ratification of the document at its earliest session as a mirror response to the United States. On October 18, Russia's lower parliamentary chamber passed a bill in its third and final reading to withdraw its ratification of the CTBT.
Two days later, the US conducted underground tests at the test site in Nevada, where it had previously tested nuclear weapons. US has signed but not ratified the treaty.
The upper house of the Russian parliament
adopted a bill to withdraw ratification of the CTBT on October 25.
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty was adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 10, 1996 and opened for signature in New York on September 24, 1996.
Before Russia withdrew its ratification, 187 States had signed the Treaty and 178 had ratified it. The most recent countries to fully accede to the CTBT are the Solomon Islands and Sri Lanka.
Russia signed the CTBT on September 24, 1996, and ratified it on May 30, 2000.
