Russia halts nuclear information sharing with U.S.

Russia has suspended sharing information about its nuclear forces with the United States, including notices about missile tests. This comes after Moscow suspended its participation in the last remaining nuclear arms pact with the U.S. last month. The Russian foreign ministry initially said Moscow would keep notifying the U.S. about planned test launches of its ballistic missiles, but a senior Russian diplomat has now confirmed that there will be no notifications at all. As part of Russian drills that began on Wednesday, Yars mobile missile launchers would manoeuvre across three regions of Siberia, Russia’s defence ministry said.
