The Russian Federation has removed the moratorium on the placement of medium and short -range missiles: Medvedev threatens "new steps"

"The Russian Foreign Ministry statement to remove the moratorium on the placement of medium and shorter missiles is the result of the anti -Russian policy of NATO countries. This is a new reality that all our opponents will have to count. Wait for further steps," he said. It is worth noting that this post Medvedev became the first since July 31, when the Kremlin politician threatened US President Donald Trump with nuclear weapons.

Then Medvedev remembered the "dead hand", commenting on Trump's words about the "dead economy" of Russia and India. Since then, Donald Trump has ordered the removal of atomic submarines in response to the threats of the Kremlin policy.

On Monday, August 4, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation stated that Russia no longer considers itself related to the moratorium on the deployment of medium and low range missiles, citing the fact that the "collective event" is increasing the RMSD and placing them in Europe and the Asian-Pacific. Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Combating NSPOs of Ukraine, has already responded to new statements by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

According to him, exit from the moratorium on the placement of the RMSD is "formality". "Russia has left the moratorium on the placement of medium and short -range missiles - formality, because they have been alert since 2019, when Trump came out of DRSMD due to Russian violation," Kovalenko said. According to him, such a step "will not change anything in the balance of forces", and Russia "can be frightened by" Oresanik "in Belarus.
