Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia's military capabilities guarantee the country's security irrespective of the U.S. moves on the INF Treaty.
"I think this is an inevitable prospect, and there will be no deviations from the path stated by President Trump and his national security assistant John Bolton when he was in Moscow. This game is played, the Americans will eventually reject the contract," Ryabkov said.
He also noted that Washington is moving towards a moratorium on all American obligations and expressed a fear that the new Strategic Arms Reduction (START) Treaty would meet the same fate as the INF agreement.
"We have not violated the treaty. We have repeatedly offered the United States to prove why the missile, which they use to incriminate us, does not violate the treaty. Nevertheless, they continue to stick to their position, arguing that it was Russia that violated the treaty, so that they had a reason to suspend it," Sputnik cited the diplomat as saying.
