Russia Considers Nuclear Tests After US AnnouncementPutin orders proposals for test prep following Trump’s call to restart US nuclear testing; Russia’s last test was in 1990.
- Russia is evaluating the option to resume nuclear testing in response to the US plan announced by President Trump.
- Putin reaffirmed Russia’s compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty but warned of proportional responses if others test weapons.
- The Defense Ministry confirmed that the Novaya Zemlya test site is ready for potential nuclear detonations.
- Russia’s military leadership noted that preparing for nuclear tests could take from several months to years.
We must, of course, focus not only – or even primarily – on statements and remarks made by American politicians and officials, but above all on the actual actions of the United States of America.— Andrey Belousov, Russia’s Defense Minister, during a Security Council meeting.
