“This is a normal proposal, which says that it’s not necessary to conclude any documents or papers in order to fulfill the“ gentleman's ”obligations undertaken, because if someone is not going to fulfill any contract documented, he can get him out. Here’s the alternative - come on, we even in the absence of this agreement will refrain from deploying such missiles and will be responsible for stability throughout the world, ”Sherin added.
The deputy emphasized that the proposal of such a moratorium testifies to the fact that Russia stands for maintaining global stability and security.
“This is at least some attempt, it shows that the Russian Federation is fighting to the last so that even in the absence of this document, it does not develop into some kind of arms race and does not destabilize the situation in the world,” the parliamentarian concluded.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia had invited NATO members to join the moratorium on the deployment of medium and shorter-range missiles (INF).
In August, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said the United States had staged a propaganda campaign accusing Russia of INF Treaty violations to cover up its plans to leave the agreement.
