Now we see alarming signs of the start of a US media campaign to prepare the ground for the complete withdrawal from of the CTBT [that the United States has never ratified], which calls into question the future of this crucial for international peace and security document," Lavrov said in an article for the Russia in Global Affairs magazine.
