WASHINGTON/MOSCOW - The United States formally withdrew from a landmark nuclear missile pact with Russia on Friday after determining that Moscow was in violation of the treaty, something the Kremlin has repeatedly denied.
“The United States will not remain party to a treaty that is deliberately violated by Russia,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement about the U.S. withdrawal. “A serious mistake has been made in Washington,” Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg dismissed Russia’s moratorium request on Friday, saying it was “not a credible offer” as he said Moscow had already deployed illegal missiles.
NATO’s Stoltenberg said there would be “no rash moves” by the alliance which he said “would not mirror what Russia does.”NATO members Britain and Poland blamed Moscow for the INF treaty’s demise.
