The reasons for Russia to maintain its unilateral moratorium on the deployment of medium-range and shorter-range missiles are disappearing
due to the actions of the United States and its Western allies, Sergey Ryabkov said on Monday.
"The grounds for maintaining our moratorium are disappearing. But so far no political decisions have been made," Ryabkov told reporters.
The unilateral moratorium announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin has not been met with a proper response from the US and its Western satellites, the senior Russian diplomat explained.
"We are observing practical actions that, in my view, will inevitably lead to the emergence in both Europe and the Asia-Pacific region of such US-made weapons that were previously prohibited by the INF Treaty [Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty]," Ryabkov added.
