“The withdrawal (USA. - RT ) from this agreement jeopardizes the rest of the agreements concluded between Russia and the USA, and this can lead to another arms race and increases the risks of a major conflict. These tests, which the United States conducted, and the statements about the possible deployment of new missiles, only emphasize that the United States has long been preparing for this issue, that all laboratory tests, part of the factory, full-scale tests, have all been carried out already, ”Chepa said.
The deputy emphasized that all US accusations against Russia regarding the alleged violation of the INF Treaty are fictitious.
“This is done on purpose in order to cover up their direct violations. Therefore, this issue needs to be raised, it is necessary that, first of all, all countries hear the truth that exists, and appropriate measures must be taken. It is very important that Russia and China suggested raising the issue at the Security Council - to open the eyes of the world to US actions on this issue, ”the parliamentarian concluded.
Earlier, Russia and China convened the UN Security Council due to US missile development.
On August 18, the United States tested a cruise missile prohibited by agreement. The Pentagon said that its development began in February.
Maneuvers took place approximately two weeks after the treaty was officially terminated at the initiative of the American side.
