MFA: Do not want to listen to Lavrov, listen to Shoigu!
Russia hopes that the United States will not take unreasonable steps regarding the INF Treaty. This was stated by Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Ermakov to the news agency RIA News.
He said that the Russian leadership was ready for any development of events and had already prepared options for solutions in response to US actions. Ermakov strongly advises the American side to carefully listen to the statements of the Russian Foreign Ministry:
Ermakov considers US statements about a possible exit from the INF Treaty as absurd, as they bring the world closer to disaster. The leaders of nuclear-weapon states are obliged to understand their responsibility to all of humanity. They must soberly assess contemporary realities.
In October of this year, Donald Trump accused Moscow of violating the INF Treaty and threatened to withdraw from it if the other parties to the agreement "did not come to their senses." In response, Russia draws attention to violations by the United States. We are talking about the installations in Romania and Poland, capable of launching the Tomahawks, and shock drones.

... anyone who does not want to listen to how Sergey Lavrov explains all this in great detail will have to listen to what Sergey Shoigu will explain to them.
