Ukraine Says Russia Used Missile That Led Trump to Quit INF Treaty
- On October 5, Russia deployed the 9M729 ground-launched cruise missile in Ukraine, with a launch flying over 1,200 km to its impact site.
- The United States withdrew from the INF Treaty in 2019 citing the 9M729 ground-launched cruise missile, which Washington said violated the treaty and could exceed the 500 km range, a claim Russia denied.
- Militarily, the 9M729 ground-launched cruise missile can carry either a conventional or a nuclear warhead, and Kyiv records show Russia launched it multiple times since August, including two in 2022.
- Kyiv has requested long-range Tomahawk missiles from Washington, which are not barred by the INF Treaty, while Russia warned this deployment is a dangerous escalation and its Ministry of Defense remains silent.
- In recent months, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said Russia's use of the 9M729 missile prompted the U.S. INF Treaty withdrawal, while Western military analysts warn it threatens security across Europe.
