WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Carter claimed that Russia’s development of new nuclear weapons systems raises serious questions about Moscow’s commitment to strategic stability.

The CTBT was finalized in 1996 and has been signed by the United States and 182 other countries. It was ratified by 166 countries, but is yet to be ratified by the US Conrgess.
