Russian President Vladimir Putin declared on Tuesday that Moscow will suspend the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START)—its last remaining nuclear pact with the United States. He added that Russia should be ready to resume its nuclear weapons tests, anticipating similar action from the US. This could spell the end of the global ban on nuclear weapons tests imposed since the Cold War.
