“The United States again lays down its own conditions in relation to Russian armaments, announcing the suspension of its participation in the INF Treaty and its intention to terminate it in six months. We do not accept such a tone. I think we should not accept another ultimatum,” said Leonid Slutskiy

The parliamentarian said that the repetition of the claims on the destruction of missiles does not withstand any criticism, and also reminded that Moscow has repeatedly stated that their characteristics do not contradict the terms of the treaty.
“However, they do not want to listen to us and continue to accuse us of violation of the INF. Thus, Washington does not even hide the fact that it intends to use the situation with a loud withdrawal from the treaty to build up its missile potential, including, obviously, nuclear,” said the member of the State Duma.
“Such a position poses a danger of new arms race, which has an extremely negative effect on the entire system of international security, control, and deterrence. The United States is a threat to world stability,” concluded Leonid Slutskiy.
