Daily Mail: Putin revokes Russia's ratification of nuclear test ban treaty - after warning he was 'not ready to say' if he will carry out live nuke tests 

* Treaty outlaws all nuclear explosions, including live tests of nuclear weapons 

Russian President Vladimir Putin today signed a law revoking Russia's ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. 

The 1996 treaty outlaws all nuclear explosions, including live tests of nuclear weapons, though it never came into force because some key countries - including the United States and China - never ratified it.

The West has accused Russia of using reckless nuclear rhetoric since it launched its offensive on Ukraine last February.
