Russia takes the first step towards revoking ratification of the nuclear test ban treaty.

 Russia has taken the first step towards revoking ratification of the
nuclear test ban treaty. The country’s lawmakers today voted on the
Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and their decision has moved them
closer to abandoning the landmark agreement. The vote comes after President
Vladimir Putin said earlier this month he was ‘not ready to say’ whether
Russia needed to carry out live nuclear tests – which they promised not to
do when ratifying the treaty in 2000.
