Arguments and Facts
Deputy Minister of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Ryabkov called the allegations of U.S. violation of the Treaty on the elimination of intermediate and short range.
Last Friday during a meeting of the UN security Council U.S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson said that Russia has not fulfilled the provisions of the Treaty and also breached “the security assurances the data at the end of the cold war.”
“We will not accept attempts to groundlessly accuse Russia in violation of several agreements, including the INF Treaty. During the scoring of these allegations, the Americans were not charged with specific facts that could be used as evidence” — quoted Ryabkov to Interfax.
The diplomat added that the Russian side also has claim to the execution of U.S. treaties in the field of control over arms, including missiles and medium-range.
The INF Treaty was signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in Washington in 1987. The parties committed themselves not to produce, not to test and not to deploy certain types of ballistic and cruise land-based missiles.
