Wants ratification: Secretary of the Nuclear Test Ban Organization met with Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia

The meeting between Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov and Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) Robert Floyd, held earlier in Moscow, was reported on the organization’s page on the social network X (formerly Twitter - blocked in the Russian Federation).

The CTBTO message clarifies that the parties met within the framework of the Moscow Non-Proliferation Conference that took place in recent days.

Ryabkov emphasized Russia's continued support for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty as a signatory state.

- the organization said in a statement.

The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 10, 1996. On November 2, 2023, the Russian President withdrew ratification of the Treaty, which was never ratified by the United States. However, despite this, as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted in his address to the participants of the Moscow Conference, Russia remains “a full participant in the CTBT.”

Robert Floyd has previously stated that he is in regular contact with senior Russian officials. According to him, he is trying to convince the Russian authorities to ratify the treaty, since this “meets the interests of the whole world, including Russia.” Interestingly, the CTBTO Secretary is making the same efforts to persuade Washington to ratify this treaty...

And also transfer all nuclear weapons with delivery means for storage to Ukraine for the greatest security for us and the world. How accustomed they are to our “gestures of goodwill”.

Well, the interest of these (censorship) is understandable, why do ours need it?

So ours don’t need it, he decided to meet, probably in the hope that we would sign up.
Although, the States wipe themselves with signed papers, but are we afraid of ink?
Although yes, it should have been said that only after the “partners”!

To the world - to the world. Muru-mur.
Weapons are in a landfill. Chewing gum for everyone.

A peaceful intelligence officer from some moderate Western insolent people.

Either they are stupid, or they think we are the current ones... You really should persuade the States to sign first, but ours have never refused this... Well, we won’t unilaterally cut something off for ourselves (cut...) Enough is enough - Gorbachev and Yeltsin have already cut themselves short!!! “Of course, you can have the chairs first, and then the money, but the money comes first...”

One might think that the current guarantor had little say in this matter...

Exactly! It seems like he wasn’t the one who left Cuba and Cam Ranh: “We have no enemies.”

Has this “secretary” ever heard of such a concept as “parity”? It’s enough that Russia, honestly fulfilling its Treaty obligations, liquidated its considerable stockpiles of chemical warfare agents, but when will the USA finally do this?

Never, well, unless we force them somehow.

But why. This rubbish also has a shelf life and whether you like it or not, it must be disposed of.

Without nuclear weapons, we would have been dismembered long ago.
It's all a talking room. We are, of course, for a comprehensive ban, for world peace and for everything good against everything bad.
But as a matter of fact, at the moment we don’t need it at all, even if the United States ratifies it. But we won't. We have no interest in this.

[Mowgli_2]

Why do we need to communicate with prostitutes and Europeans?! We have nothing else to do, how much time, effort and money goes into communicating with this public. Well, if they still proceed from political necessity, then for this public some roadside cafe will be enough and that’s it!

Wants ratification: Secretary of the Nuclear Test Ban Organization met with Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia

the rear axle began to wobble and wobble. They themselves don’t really have any delivery vehicles or full-fledged military units left; they urgently need to stall for time. In the meantime, they will shake things up: allocate a budget, select your own people, hold tenders, organize production, lure personnel from the Indians and Israelis. A lot of time will pass. Russia needs to soar its brains for now

An ordinary protocol meeting, for show, as they say
The parties informed each other of their intentions, each remained to their own

[Alaburga]

Why is Ryabkov so servilely creeping before this Western nit? That there are not enough eggs, send this Floyd, saying that until he comes up with a ratified agreement from the U.S.S., don’t let him flash before your eyes and don’t bother him over trifles.

Wants ratification:

I want to? will want to!

[Sergey Prutkov55]

Russia does not need this treaty. Like any other agreements with the West. The West is the enemy of Russia. By screws !

[alystan]

For the CTBT to enter into force, it must be ratified by the 44 states listed in Annex 2 to the Treaty. Of these states, 36 have ratified the CTBT, including 3 nuclear weapons states - Russia, Great Britain and France. Of the remaining 8 countries, 3 did not sign the Treaty - India, North Korea and Pakistan; signed but not ratified by 5 - the USA, China, Egypt, Israel and Iran.

It’s strange, but on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry (https://www.mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/international_safety/disarmament/yadernoe_nerasprostranenie/zapreshchenie_yadernykh_ispytaniy/1413344/) there is not a word about the fact that Russia has withdrawn its ratification (?) Masha launched her work?

[bone1]

Have you already gone to America and received approval?

[Workyaga]

The main thing is that you sign so that we can then point our fingers at you - it’s interesting how you managed to deceive the Russians again?
Well, the question is of course relevant: what kind of agreements are these in which no one has any obligation to comply with them? It turns out that no one can force the other parties to this agreement to fulfill the agreement... maybe then this is not an agreement, but a wish, a recommendation, a goal... it turns out that there are no global tools to force the same USA to comply... What is the point of all these meetings then? ??

Does Robert Floyd receive his salary in rubles?

Ratification of the CTBT does not correspond to Russia's interests.
