Mirroring Washington, Putin suspends Russia’s participation in INF arms treaty
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRussian President Vladimir Putin officially suspends Moscow’s participation in a key Cold War-era arms treaty, after the US first moved to ditch the INF deal.
Putin “signed a decree regarding the suspension of Russia’s participation in the agreement between the USSR and the US,” the Kremlin says in a statement.
The move was taken following “a violation of the United States of its obligations under the treaty,” it says.
Moscow and Washington have accused one another of breaching the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces agreement concluded between the US and the former Soviet Union in 1987.
