After Russia withdrew its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the United States could promise to ratify it on its own behalf. This opinion was expressed by Yuri Shvytkin, deputy chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, in a conversation with socialbites.ca.
“It is difficult for me to predict US actions, but I think they will try to reach possible approval through political and diplomatic channels and possibly promise approval on their side. But the United States cannot be trusted in any way. “Above all, we should focus on securing the national interests of our state, not on the United States doing something,” Shvytkin said.
The speaker of the lower house of parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin, said that the Council of the State Duma at the next meeting will discuss The issue of canceling the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. This issue was raised by President Vladimir Putin in his speech at the meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.
