Russia Suspends Nuclear Arms Treaty After U.S. Says to Pull Out

Description

According to Reuters, Russia has suspended the Cold War-era Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, after the United States said it would withdraw from the arms control pact, accusing Moscow of violations. In a televised meeting, President Vladimir Putin said that “The American partners have declared that they suspend their participation in the deal, we suspend it as well." Putin said Russia will start work on creating new missiles and told ministers not to initiate disarmament talks with Washington, accusing the United States of being slow to respond to such moves.
