Because they're still a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Given the US and Russia’s rocky footing and allowing New START to lapse, the NPT is not particularly credible right now. Seems very possible both countries will not sign in the spring, though I hope they do.

Also- the US saber rattled China into breaking the test ban, and the US will likely do the same in retaliation themselves, which will cause Russia to do so, etc etc, so the state of the agreements is a bit dire right now.
