Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov said American policy is "extremely hostile" toward Russia.

Russia and the United States have not conducted a nuclear test since 1992 but Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister says his country "does not rule anything out".

Moscow has warned Donald Trump against resuming the testing of nuclear weapons when he takes office, saying it would “not rule anything out” in response to US aggression.

Russia's point man for arms control cautioned Donald Trump's incoming administration on Friday against resuming nuclear testing, saying Moscow would keep its own options open amid what he said was Washington's "extremely hostile" stance.

One of Vladimir Putin’s ministers warned Donald Trump that Russia would not be “ruling anything out” when it came to nuclear testing once the president-elect is in office. Post-Soviet Russia has not tested their nuclear weapons since 1990 while the US last tested in 1992.

Deputy FM notes Trump took radical position during his first term, when he reportedly discussed first test since 1992.

Russia warns of potential nuclear testing in response to Trump's stance, raising concerns about global security.

During Trump's first 2017-2021 term as president, his administration discussed whether or not to conduct the first US nuclear test since 1992, the Washington Post reported in 2020

After the US and Russia tested a nuclear bomb in the 1990s, Russia signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1996 and ratified it in 2000.
