NATO: Russia bears responsibility for breaking the INF Treaty
It became known that the stronghold of the global "peace", in the person of the NATO bloc, considers Russia responsible for the termination of the INF Treaty. US allies fully share Washington’s point of view on this issue. However, few people doubted such a decision.
On February 1, 2019, the agreed statement NATO on the situation around the INF Treaty. The Alliance said in a statement that if Moscow does not destroy (in a verifiable way) the 9M729 missile, then Russia will be solely responsible for the termination of the INF Treaty in six months. At the same time, Brussels urges Moscow to use the time to “return” to the INF Treaty. At the same time, Brussels supports the US decision to suspend the fulfillment of the obligations under the INF Treaty, believing (it’s so convenient for them - ed.) That Washington took this step allegedly because of “significant risks to Euro-Atlantic security” from Russian cruise missiles.
It should be recalled that U.S. President Donald Trump announced on February 1, 2019 that Washington will begin the procedure for leaving the INF Treaty on February 2, 2019. And Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in his favorite ultimatum manner, specified that if Russia does not return to the INF Treaty, the agreement will be terminated after six months.
In fact, we are faced with an attempt of collective influence on Russia from the West. After all, the parties to the INF Treaty are exclusively Russia and the United States, there are no other parties to it. And if NATO wants to talk about medium- and shorter-range missiles, then a new treaty is needed, where there will be much more participants, at least all the countries that are members of the Alliance.
That is why, seeing such a “constructive” approach from the West, Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 2, 2019 announced that Moscow would respond in a mirror to Washington’s actions and also suspend its participation in the INF Treaty. Putin noted that Russia is not going to participate in the arms race and Moscow’s proposals for disarmament are known. In addition, it is now known and view Chinese "comrades" about the situation around the INF Treaty.
