Turin, Aug 4 (LaPresse) – Moscow no longer considers itself bound by the self-imposed restrictions on the deployment of medium- and short-range missiles. This was stated by the Russian Foreign Ministry in a press release. “As our repeated warnings on the matter have been ignored, and the situation is evolving toward an actual deployment of U.S. ground-based medium- and short-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region,” the ministry said, “we note the collapse of the conditions required to maintain the unilateral moratorium on deploying such weapons and affirm that the Russian Federation no longer sees itself as bound by the previously adopted self-limitations.”
“The specific parameters of response measures will be determined by the leadership of the Russian Federation based on an interministerial analysis of the scale of U.S. and other Western countries’ deployment of such missiles, as well as the overall evolution of the international security and strategic stability environment,” the ministry added.
