President Vladimir Putin withdrew Russia’s ratification of a ban on nuclear-weapons tests after complaining last month that the US had failed to finalize the treaty outlawing them.

Germany provided Ukraine with a further military aid package, including armored personnel carriers, air surveillance radar systems and reconnaissance drones, Kyiv’s defense ministry said in a post on X.
