Earlier this week, the US State Department released a report titled Report on Adherence to and Compliance With Arms Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments. In the document, Washington accused Moscow of several violations, including Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe among others, as well as possible violations of the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the Biological And Toxin Weapons Convention.
"Even a cursory analysis of the report shows that it can hardly be called a serious document claiming to reflect the real situation in the field of arms control and non-proliferation," the ministry said in a statement.
Relations between Russia and the United States went downhill in 2014, when Washington, joined by the EU accused Moscow of fueling the Ukrainian crisis and imposed several rounds of sanctions as a punitive measure. The Russian authorities have refuted the allegations, warning that the Western sanctions are counterproductive.
