Russia said Monday it will no longer honor a self‑imposed moratorium on deploying land‑based intermediate‑range nuclear missiles, blaming U.S. and NATO plans to station similar weapons in Europe and the Asia‑Pacific.
The Russia Foreign Ministry accused Washington of escalating tensions by testing, producing and moving systems once banned under the defunct Intermediate‑Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.
Moscow said the deployments, including recent U.S. missile activity in Denmark, the Philippines and Australia, pose a "direct threat" to Russian security. The Kremlin warned it will take "military‑technical" steps in response to restore what it calls a strategic balance.
