Russia does not plan to deploy new weapon systems on the European part of its territory after US withdrawal from Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, unless new American missiles are installed in Europe, the Russian Permanent Mission to NATO announced, following the NATO-Russia council.

“We did confirm that, when planning measures for Russia’s military security within the context of US withdrawal from the INF Treaty, we did not intend to deploy similar missile systems in Europe and other regions, unless short-range missiles are deployed there,” Moscow said.
