MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st October, 2018) Russia condemns the United States for trying to force Moscow to make concessions in the sphere of strategic stability through blackmailing amid Washington's withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told Sputnik on Sunday.
On Saturday, US President Donald Trump announced the country's unilateral withdrawal from the INF treaty over Russia's alleged violations of the agreement.
"We are treating with concern and condemnation the United States' new attempts to force Russia to make concessions in the sphere of international security and strategic stability via blackmailing.
The Russian side has repeatedly said that the US side has no reasons for accusing Russia of allegedly violating this treaty. After all these years, they have failed to substantiate their fanciful claims by clear explanations why they are doing this," Ryabkov said.
�The INF Treaty was signed by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1987. The treaty prohibits the development, deployment and testing of ground-launched ballistic or cruise missiles with ranges between 300 and 3,400 miles.
