US Exit From Nuclear Arms Treaty With Russia to Be 'Very Dangerous Step'

"We are treating with concern and condemnation the United States' new attempts to force Russia to make concessions in the sphere of international security and strategic stability via blackmailing. The Russian side has repeatedly said that the US side has no reasons for accusing Russia of allegedly violating this treaty. After all these years, they have failed to substantiate their fanciful claims by clear explanations why they are doing this," Ryabkov said.

The Ministry pointed out that the United States has provided no proof that Russia has in fact violated the treaty by deploying the missiles.

The 1987 INF Treaty prohibits the development, deployment and testing of ground-launched ballistic or cruise missiles with ranges between 300 and 3,400 miles.
