Russia's parliament completed the passage of a law on Wednesday that withdraws Moscow's ratification of the global
treaty banning nuclear weapons tests.

The upper house, the Federation Council, approved the law by 156 votes to zero after the lower house, the Duma, had also passed it unanimously. It now goes to President Vladimir Putin for signing.
