. The United States has notified the Russian Federation that their decision to withdraw from the Treaty on intermediate-range and shorter-range finally, said Deputy foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
according to his statement, most of the arguments on the "violation" of Russia's INF Treaty was fabricated by Washington.
Ryabkov said that Moscow had not violated the Treaty, for this reason considers that the arguments of the US withdrawal from the Treaty is untenable.
"in practice, this means that the so-called period of suspension the contract will continue, remaining binding on the parties ", - He added.
The diplomat drew attention that the requirement of States to eliminate all missiles 9ï?729 is absolutely unacceptable for the Russian Federation.
However, as said Ryabkov, Moscow is ready to go on unprecedented transparency on the performance of the Contract and made a proposal to Washington to act in the same transparent manner. For example, the Russian side made a proposal to build a presentation and briefing on the missile and its launcher 9ï?729 stop.
He added that in the capital of Russia " believe that such constructive actions of the parties would open the way to preserve the Treaty, what do you expect from both of our States, without exaggeration, the entire world Commonwealth ".
According to Ryabkov, Russia is ready to work for the conservation of the INF Treaty - the choice is up to US.
Ryabkov recalled that fifteen years ago, the US unilaterally turned to the work of the special control Board on the Agreement, saying the reluctance to continue the discussion already existing in Russia at that time of concerns about compliance of the American party to the INF Treaty.
in addition, Moscow has raised the question about using a Pentagon contract contrary to the way so-called target missiles, similar to the characteristics of land-based ballistic missiles of medium and shorter-range missiles.
"We had and still have every reason to believe that under the guise of missile tests either at the same time with them comes testing of the technological capabilities of ballistic missiles of ground-based intermediate-and shorter-accommodation, that is prohibited under the Agreement range ", - noticed Deputy head of the foreign Ministry.
Cruise missile 9ï?729, which, in the opinion of the United States, violates the INF Treaty - a modernized version of the missile 9ï?728, part of the " Iskander-M ", told a press-conferences the chief of Rocket troops and artillery of Michael Matveevsky.
according to his statement, rocket 9ï?729 posted combat equipment of high-power and a new on-Board control complex, provides a higher accuracy of hitting the target.
Matveyevskoye noticed that the missiles 9ï?728 and 9ï?729 loaded with warhead and refuel only at the factory.
"The weight of fuel thus ensures a maximum range bounded by the requirements of the Treaty (INF - ed.). In troops they come in special containers. The correction of the mass of fuel and refueling rockets in military conditions is impossible. The troops are only storing missiles, their content on launchers and transport-charging machines and performing routine maintenance ", - said the General.
in October, the head of the United States Donald trump announced that Washington will come out of the INF Treaty, as Moscow is not in compliance with its obligations. While evidence that the Russian Federation has violated the Treaty, the American side has not provided.
later, Secretary of state Mike Pompeo gave Moscow two months to "go back to the execution" of the Contract. For example, US pushing the fact that Russia refused from the rocket 9ï?729 (SSC-8), whose range, as stated in the capital of the United States, violates the INF Treaty.
in the Russian capital, these accusations are called unfounded, noting that the missile 9ï?729 has not developed and has not been tested to a range of exceeding the set limit.
