Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that Russia may consider withdrawing its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

The Russian State Duma Council has instructed a committee to study the possibility of revoking the treaty's ratification within 10 days. This move has sparked concerns and tensions, with Russian lawmakers examining the revocation amid the current geopolitical climate. The Guardian reports that the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, has given lawmakers 10 days to study the possibility of revoking Moscow's ratification. The Federal Council has also announced plans to revoke the ratification of the treaty, which was created in 1996 and prohibits the testing of any nuclear explosion or weapon.
