As the ambassador noted on Channel One, the most dangerous moment in the situation with the RMND is their appearance on the territory of European states.

“In fact, we can return to the situation before the conclusion of this famous treaty of the late 1980s. And then it will be a completely new regional and strategic situation, which will require additional actions from us, ”Antonov said.

The ambassador noted the importance of maintaining a moratorium on the deployment of intermediate and shorter-range missiles anywhere in the world.

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the termination of the INF Treaty can be considered as an argument for the growth of defense spending.
