Germany calls out Russia over INF treaty violations with cruise missiles
- Country:
- Germany
- Russian Federation
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Wednesday that he had discussed the INF disarmament treaty with Russia and had made clear that he expected Moscow to stop violating it so the accord has a chance of survival. "I have spoken to my Russian colleague about it and told him we're banking on Russia correcting its violations of the treaty and disarming its cruise missiles so that the INF treaty still has a chance," Maas said.
Russia has recognised the existence of a cruise missile system that has prompted Washington to say it will quit the 1987 INF treaty, but has denied that it violates the pact, U.S. officials and NATO diplomats said on Monday.
