The Russian Parliament has passed a bill to revoke the approval banning nuclear tests. The Upper House of the Russian Parliament has created a stir from Ukraine to America with one of its decisions. Now it is being sent to President Putin for approval.
Russia’s upper house also banned nuclear testing
Now Russia has become free to conduct new nuclear tests. Now the bells of nuclear war seem to be ringing amid the Russia-Ukraine war. Amidst the war with Ukraine, the Russian Parliament has now taken this important decision. In fact, after the lower house, now the upper house of the Russian Parliament also cancelled the approval of the global nuclear test ban on Wednesday. The Federation Council passed a bill revoking the Ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). Moscow has described this as a step to establish equality with America.
The CTBT, adopted in 1996, bans all nuclear tests worldwide, but the treaty has never been fully implemented. Putin warned earlier this month that Moscow could rescind its 2000 decision to approve the related bill to ‘equalize’ America’s stance as the United States halts nuclear testing Has signed the ban, but has not followed through on it. Now this bill will be sent to President Vladimir Putin for final approval. The lower house approved this bill last week.
America and Ukraine both by Russia’s decision are freaked out
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said earlier this month that Moscow would continue to respect the ban and would resume nuclear tests only if Washington did so first. Russia may move to resume nuclear testing to discourage the West from continuing military aid to Ukraine. Both America and Ukraine have been shocked by this decision of Russia. In fact, Russia has said that the treaty which it has decided to cancel is yet to be ratified by China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Israel, Iran and Egypt.
