The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has blamed the US government for aspiring to breach the treaties that are not in favor of the US, as reported RIA Novosti.

“The breach of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty affirms that the US has a goal to breach treaties that are not in its favor. This will lead to de facto dismantling of the existing system of arms control,” the Russian MFA’s press release reads.

Earlier, the Russian MFA had reported that the validity of the Treaty was terminated at the initiative of the US on August 2.
