MOSCOW - Russia and China accused the United States on Tuesday of stoking military tensions by testing a ground-launched cruise missile, but the foreign ministry in Moscow said it would not be drawn into an arms race.
The United States formally withdrew from the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia on Aug. 2 after accusing Moscow of violating it, a charge dismissed by the Kremlin. Russia would, however, not allow itself “to be pulled into a costly arms race” and did not plan to deploy new missiles unless the United States did so first, he was quoted as saying by TASS news agency.
