Moscow (CNN) Russia rejects claims it has deployed a cruise missile in violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Thursday.

"Russia has been, remains and will remain committed to all international obligations, including those arising from the INF Treaty," Peskov said.

Russia still remains committed to its obligations, so we disagree and reject any accusations on this point."
