The U.S. first withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty; Russia says its claims are baseless.

【Kremlin Press Conference: It Was the US Who First Withdrawn from the INF Treaty】

Moscow time October 31, 2025, Dmitry Peskov, Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration and Kremlin Spokesman, responded to questions from the Kremlin Press Corps:

If you remember this story, the United States did indeed raise claims against Russia under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty). However, Russia had very good reasons to reject all these claims, explaining that such claims were baseless. The United States withdrew from the INF Treaty in 2019. That same year, Russia suspended its participation in the treaty.
