Russia maintains active preparations at its Novaya Zemlya test site following its 2023 withdrawal from the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, with officials stating the facility is ready for full-scale explosive testing. Recent strategic nuclear exercises, including ICBM launches and joint drills with Belarus, alongside ongoing modernization of the nuclear triad, reflect heightened emphasis on deterrence amid the Ukraine conflict and expired arms-control limits. Satellite monitoring shows continued infrastructure activity, while U.S. and Western assessments note no confirmed explosive tests to date. Scheduled military drills and diplomatic signals on strategic stability could influence any near-term decisions on resuming underground detonations.
