The Russian Parliament (Duma) passed a Bill on October 18, 2023 which resulted in
Revoke its ratification of CTBT
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) of 1996 bans all nuclear explosions. It has not entered into force because several Annex 2 states, including the United States, China, India and Pakistan, have not ratified it. Russia signed in 1996 and ratified in 2000, while the United States signed but never ratified.
On 18 October 2023 the State Duma passed a bill withdrawing Russia's ratification of the CTBT, citing the need to mirror the position of the United States. The Federation Council approved it on 25 October, and President Putin signed the law on 2 November 2023. Russia stated it remained a signatory and would not conduct a nuclear explosion unless the United States did.
The bill had nothing to do with stopping attacks on Ukraine; the war continued. Sales of oil to India were a commercial matter not decided by this bill. Russia's readiness of its nuclear strike forces is a military posture question and was not the subject of the October 2023 legislation.
Revoke its ratification of CTBT option is correct.
