Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

Foreign Ministry: Russia may withdraw from moratorium on deployment of medium- and short-range missiles Fox News

The United States is strengthening its military capability in the Asia-Pacific (APR) region. American-made missiles may soon appear, for example in Japan. Russia will assess the range and velocity characteristics of missile systems. This will determine Russia’s willingness to continue adhering to the unilateral moratorium on the deployment of intermediate-range and short-range land-based missiles, Yermakov said. However, even now, the military programs of the United States and its allies make the moratorium “increasingly fragile, both in the Asia-Pacific region and in Europe”, the diplomat stressed.

The United States suspended its obligations under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty on February 2, 2019, citing Russian violations. Moscow has denied these accusations, presenting a number of counterclaims. They affected, among other things, elements of the American missile defense system in Europe. In 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin sent the leaders of several countries, including NATO members, a proposal to impose a moratorium on the deployment of the INF in Europe and other regions. States rejected this initiative.
