The Minister of foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov at the UN said that Moscow has reason to suspect Washington of violating no less than three paragraphs of the Treaty on the elimination of intermediate-range and shorter-range. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
“We honestly have these concerns presented,” — said Lavrov after the meeting with the head of the US state Department Rex Tillerson.
Lavrov noted that Russia is interested in preserving the INF Treaty without any violations. The Minister said that the US claims Russia delivered consistently, but Washington can’t exactly justify his excitement.
The Minister commented on the amendment in the defense budget, the Senate of the United States, which will allow Washington to withdraw from the INF Treaty. Lavrov said that such a step provides for any arrangement.
Recall Lavrov and Tillerson met in new York on September 18.
