A SENIOR Russian diplomat said today that his country will revoke its ratification of a global nuclear test ban to put itself on par with the United States, but it will only resume nuclear weapons testing if Washington does so first.
The statement follows a warning by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that the risk of global conflict is increasing.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters that Moscow would rescind the ratification of the nuclear test ban treaty to “mirror” the action by Washington.
