Russia maintains readiness at the Novaya Zemlya test site and has de-ratified the CTBT, with officials stating the facility can resume full-scale explosive nuclear testing if needed for parity. Following the February 2026 expiration of New START and U.S. statements on testing, Moscow has conducted large-scale strategic exercises, Sarmat ICBM launches, and other delivery system tests without crossing into explosive detonations. A recent Poseidon torpedo test attempt was aborted without a nuclear event, and an Avangard launch was canceled. Trader assessments reflect Russia's repeated position that it will not initiate testing absent U.S. action, alongside ongoing Ukraine-related escalation risks that could alter the timeline before winter or scheduled diplomatic contacts.
