The contract on destruction of rockets of average (one thousand - 5, 5 thousands of kilometers) and shorter (from five hundred to thousands of kilometers) range - Treaty between the USSR and the USA, signed in 1987.
The parties undertook to eliminate all the complexes and ballistic missiles with wings terrestrial host with the specified range and not produce, not to test and not to deploy them in the future.
in October 2018 Donald trump has announced the release of the US capital from the INF Treaty, citing the fact that Moscow is not complying 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, the U.S. insisted that Russia refused from the rocket 9п°729 (SSC-8), a range which, as argued in the capital of the United States, violates the INF Treaty.
in the Russian capital, these accusations are called unfounded, noting that the missile was not designed and was not tested on the range exceeding the set limit.
in February, Russia announced the temporary suspension of compliance with its obligations under the contract in response to similar actions of the United States.
