Russia Warns Against Nuclear Escalation Amid Tensions with West and Ukraine

The Kremlin has dismissed the idea that Russia is preparing to carry out a nuclear weapons test, stating that all nuclear states are abiding by a moratorium on testing. This comes after the US ambassador to Moscow, Lynne Tracy, claimed that Russia was the only country talking about the possible resumption of nuclear testing. President Putin had previously warned that Russia would act in kind if the US conducted tests, but the Kremlin has stated that everyone is currently sticking to the moratorium.
