Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his cabinet and security officials to prepare a proposal for possible preparations for a nuclear weapons test. He warned that if the US or any other CTBT signatory launches a nuclear test, Russia will \u201crespond in kind.\u201d
\nTensions between Moscow and Washington have risen since US President Donald Trump lifted a three-decade moratorium and ordered the test. The Russian defence minister and chief of staff said the US decision posed a threat to Russia\u2019s security and that the Novaya Zemlya test site could be quickly prepared if necessary.
\nThe Kremlin said Putin\u2019s order did not set a specific deadline; it was essentially part of Russia\u2019s defensive stance in response to recent US moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
