The Kremlin had stated earlier that Russia’s withdrawal from the treaty would not imply the restoration of nuclear tests.
Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said Moscow had been waiting for Washington to ratify the treaty for 23 years, but the United States had demonstrated its irresponsible approach towards global security issues.
The CTBT is a multilateral agreement that bans all nuclear explosion tests conducted for peaceful or military purposes.
He added that it is “an act of economic warfare, in times of peace,” creating a situation of ungovernability and an attempt to destroy the constitutional order.
Aurelie Flore Koumba Pambo, representative of Gabon to the UN, voiced her country’s concern over the continuing embargo.
“The scale of its impact is more and more harmful to the Cuban people,” she said during the debate, noting that the economic blockade is “clearly a hostile act to region and continental cohesion.”

Peruvian UN Ambassador Luis Ugarelli said his country “shares the view of practically the entire international community” that the embargo is against the principles of the UN Charter and international human rights law, noting Peru would support the resolution, as it has done for more than 30 years.
A drone costs pennies to make and does not require a pilot to sit in it and guide it. This is very different to the warplanes of the West that cost millions to construct and which require highly trained and very valuable pilots (some of whom become Astronauts, etc). Furthermore, the Zionist Airforce has devastated Palestine in the past with the Palestinians being unable to respond in anyway. Of course, the Soviet-supplied Service-to-Air-Missiles (SAM) devastated the Zionist Airforce in 1973 – wiping it out in under an hour – but such victories have been rare. The Zionist troops featured here – seem completely stunned as to what has happened – and do not know what to do!

Austin, who spoke from the perspective of the Pentagon following Blinken’s speech, said that by submitting the urgent supplemental budget request, the administration is asking Congress to “help fund America’s national security needs, stand by our partners, and invest in our defense industrial base.”
At one point during the question-and-answer session with the senators, Blinken said now is not the time to enforce a ceasefire, for doing so would play into the hands of Hamas, enabling them to “potentially repeat” the attacks on innocent Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.
The fact that the United States supported and protected Israel’s criminal actions immediately after the hospital bombing incident – through making absurd arguments that this incident was believed to be the work of forces other than Israel -clearly demonstrates that the United States is an accomplice in condoning and encouraging Israel’s murderous atrocities.
The reason the United States arrogantly vetoed the UN Security Council Resolution and attempted to prevented humanitarian aid reaching Gaza – is under the rationale that Israel has a “right to self-defense” – which a coded message meaning Israel can kill as many Palestinians as it sees fit in pursuance of the Zionist’s Greater Israel policy.
The United States, the destroyer of world peace and the strangler of justice, can never escape the responsibility it carries of condoning and encouraging Israel’s monstrous War Crime of brutally slaughtering the Palestinian people.
Countries in the region warned Israel on Saturday against further ground operations in the coastal enclave. Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it “condemns and denounces any ground operations carried out by Israel due to the threat they pose to the lives of Palestinian civilians”.
Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said in a post on social media platform X that an “Israeli ground escalation will have dire results for civilians, and devastating humanitarian and economic dimensions.”
