Russian Deputy Foreign Minister: "The US and NATO are hiding our claims"
The United States and NATO countries are hiding Russia's claims of violations under the INF Treaty, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told the press.
"As for the Russian side's violations of the INF Treaty, I have nothing more to say. The story is clear, we have not been provided with any evidence of Russia's violations of the INF Treaty, although we have persistently asked the United States to provide facts, if any. Often the United States, and now NATO countries, are dismissing our legitimate concerns regarding the very violations of the INF Treaty by the United States for many years," - said Mr. Grushko.
“First of all, it is the deployment of MK-41 launchers capable of launching Tomahawks on land. There are 24 such launchers in Romania, next year it is planned to install 48 launchers in Poland. This is explicitly prohibited by the treaty;
The second is the use of medium-range missiles to test missiles belonging to the US defense system, the creation of a whole class of drones equipped with offensive weapons, and now the beginning of the deployment of these weapons in Eastern Europe, all of which is as if it does not exist for NATO countries.”./.
