Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed his government to prepare proposals for a potential resumption of nuclear weapons testing, marking the first serious consideration of such tests since the Soviet era.
The announcement arrives amid escalating tensions in Eastern Europe and ongoing strategic rivalries with NATO. Analysts note the move may serve several purposes:
- Demonstrating Russia’s military capabilities.
- Strengthening domestic political leverage.
- Using strategic pressure in international negotiations on arms control.
Although no formal test has been scheduled, experts warn that even preparatory measures could have far-reaching implications for global security and existing arms-control agreements.
“The signals from Moscow are clear: Russia intends to assert its strategic posture on the world stage,” said a senior defense analyst.
