Zakharova called US attempts to accuse other countries of violating the CTBT groundless

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that US attempts to accuse other countries of actions incompatible with the nuclear test ban treaty appear groundless.

September 24 marks the 30th anniversary of the opening for signature of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).

MOSCOW, September 24 - RIA Novosti. US attempts to accuse other countries of actions incompatible with the nuclear test ban treaty appear groundless, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

“The attempts of the Americans to accuse other countries of actions that are allegedly incompatible with the Treaty look absolutely groundless. As you know, when such statements are heard from Washington, this means that the Americans once again intend to abandon their international obligations,” she said in a commentary on the 30th anniversary of the opening for signing of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
