Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to deploy cruise missiles toward Europe amid the termination of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty). Putin demanded that NATO exclude the deployment of weapons prohibited by the INF Treaty.
This is stated in a statement by the Russian president on the Kremlin website.
Putin called the US withdrawal from the treaty “a serious mistake”, which could lead to new threats to European security.
“The Russian Federation, however, is willing, in good faith, not to continue deploying 9M729 missiles in the European part of the country, but only on the condition that the NATO countries adopt reciprocal measures, excluding deployment in Europe. of weapons previously prohibited under the INF Treaty, “said the President of the Russian Federation.
He urged interested countries to seek schemes to maintain stability without an INF treaty.
Recall that in September last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin sent letters to the leaders of NATO countries with a proposal to introduce a moratorium on the deployment of medium and short-range missiles in Europe and other regions.
In response, NATO accused Russia of violating the INF Treaty.
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine wrote that the United States conducted secret military exercises in Germany, during which they were preparing for a military threat from the Russian Federation.
