Russia resigned from the unilateral restriction of missile deployment. This step justified Moscow with increased tension and military steps of the West.
Russia announced on Monday that it will withdraw from its one -sided moratorium to limit the deployment of ground and short -range ground missiles. This was stated in its official statement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DPA reported, TASR writes. The United States withdrew from the Treaty of the Treaty of the Treaty of the Treaty of Medium and Shorter Missels (INF) in 2019.
Upon termination of the Inf info, the Russian management announced a one -sided moratorium for the deployment of medium and short -range missiles. At that time, Moscow said that it would not be installed missiles unless it does NATO. In 2024, the Russian Ministry of Diplomacy officially announced that the production of such types of weapons would be restored.
Cancellation of the moratorium
In the summer of 2024, when the United States announced the “episodic” deployment of long -range weapons in Germany, Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened that Russia would cancel its moratorium. Real access to this step on Monday justified by the accumulation of the “destabilizing missile potential” in the regions adjacent to Russia by the “collective West”.
According to the German army, the location of US nuclear weapons in Germany should serve as a deterrent in response to Russian deployment of Iskander nuclear missiles in Kaliningrad Excláv. As DPA added, Russian missiles have a sufficient range to achieve German cities.
American weapons in Germany
American weapons will include Tomahawk’s flat -rate shots, which can also be technically equipped with nuclear weapons; As well as air defense missiles SM-6 and newly developed hypersonic weapons, which have an impact further than previously distributed ground systems.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently threatened that Russia will respond to the planned deployment of US missiles in Germany, starting with 2026. According to Kremlin, weapons for the Russian response were almost completed a year ago.
Inheritance of the Treaty Inf
The Info Treaty, signed by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and US President Ronald Reagan in 1987, ensured the disposal of all ground ballistic missiles and a flat -rate flight track with a range of 500 to 1,000 kilometers and a medium range of 1,000 to 500 kilometers.
