Moscow warns Washington of the consequences of withdrawing from the treaty of banning the deployment of medium and short-range missiles in Europe … who doesn’t want to listen to Lavrov will have to listen to Shoigu
Moscow warned that it has appropriate solutions if Washington withdraws from the treaty banning the deployment of medium and short-range missiles in Europe.
The head of Russia’s non-proliferation and arms control department, Vladimir Jeremakov, said the United States should refrain from unaccounted-for steps, noting that Washington “must ultimately assess the situation in the world rationally”.
“But of course we have solutions ready for any developments in the situation, and those who do not listen to what Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says will have to listen to the Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu”.
US President Donald Trump announced last month his intention to withdraw from the missile treaty with Russia on the pretext of violating Moscow’s commitments.
Russia rejected the allegations and pointed out that the United States was violating the treaty, warning that Washington’s exit would jeopardize global strategic stability.
Moscow has said it will have to take appropriate action in the event of a collapse of the treaty.
