US EditionRussia abandons moratorium on deploying short and medium-range missiles
RUSSIA, AUG 4 – Russia ends its five-year missile deployment moratorium citing escalating US and NATO military moves as threats to its national security and strategic stability.
- On Aug. 4, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced Russia is withdrawing from its self-imposed moratorium on intermediate-range missile deployments.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia reserves the right to deploy intermediate- and shorter-range missiles if NATO provocations near its borders continue, citing the INF Treaty ban on missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km and threats starting around 2026.
- By lifting its moratorium, Russia signals it will no longer be bound by outdated restrictions while adversaries encircle it.
- Since the INF Treaty collapse in 2019, Moscow maintained a voluntary moratorium conditional on NATO restraint, but Russia now no longer respects it, signaling a breakdown in arms control.
