“We didn’t come out of this agreement, the first were made by the USA. I will recall the claims to the American side - this is also the deployment of Mk 41 launchers in Europe, which are subject to the contract if you place Tomahawks, target missiles and unmanned aircraft in them. The Americans blamed the Russian side for allegedly failing to comply with the agreement - these accusations were unfounded and groundless, ”Krasov said.
The deputy added that the US, in response to claims from Russia, "kept silent and did not pay attention to them."
“The result was that Putin declared that Russia would not knock on closed doors anymore. The United States withdrew from the treaty and closed the door behind him. The decree signed by the president has already become a crown, ”the parliamentarian concluded.
Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin signed a decree stating that Russia suspends the implementation of the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF) concluded between the USSR and the United States.
On February 2, he announced the suspension of Moscow’s participation in the agreement.
