The main objection of the West is that they “do not trust” that the Iskander in Kaliningrad does not violate the parameters enshrined in the INF Treaty,” he said.

However, the West rejected this proposal.
Earlier, the minister said that Russia is concerned about the intentions of the United States to deploy intermediate and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
