Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law revoking Russia's ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), a move that has sparked international concern. The CTBT, adopted in 1996, prohibits all nuclear explosions worldwide. Russia's decision to withdraw from the treaty has raised concerns about the potential resumption of nuclear tests, which could further strain international relations.
In response to Russia's decision, the head of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban-Treaty Organization has expressed condemnation. The United States has also voiced deep concern, stating that the move undermines confidence in the international arms control regime. However, Russia maintains that it will not resume testing unless the US does and that its de-ratification does not change its nuclear posture or the way it shares information about its nuclear activities.
In the midst of these developments, Germany has provided Ukraine with additional military aid, including armoured personnel carriers, air surveillance radar systems, and reconnaissance drones. This comes as the US has imposed sanctions on several companies based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in an attempt to pressure the Gulf country to curb ties with Russia. The US has also imposed sanctions on one of Russia's largest publicly traded holding companies, Sistema.
