NATO says they are in favor of an arms control dialogue with Russia

NATO is in favor of dialogue with Russia and "effective" agreements on arms control, the Alliance’s Deputy Secretary General Rose Goethemuller said Monday, commenting on the situation around the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Short-Range Missiles (INF).
"In Brussels in July, NATO heads of state and government expressed serious concern about Russia's non-compliance with its obligations. All allies agree that the United States fully comply with the agreement, but the problem lies in the behavior of Russia," the press service of NATO said in a statement performance in Reykjavik.
“NATO stands for arms control, but to be effective, arms control agreements must be respected by all parties,” she said.
According to her, the alliance "supports effective agreements on arms control and the international legal framework created around them." “And we support ongoing negotiations with Russia,” she added.
One of the topics planned for Wednesday by the Russia-NATO Council could be the situation around the INF.
Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said earlier that NATO will assess the security implications of the new Russian missile system for the Russian Federation, but does not expect the Allies to deploy additional nuclear weapons in Europe as a response to the situation around the INF Treaty.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the treaty on medium and shorter range missiles. Trump said that America will build up its nuclear potential until the rest "come to their senses," then Washington will be ready to stop this process and begin to reduce armaments. He explained that this message is addressed primarily to China and Russia.
In recent years, Moscow and Washington have regularly accused each other of violating the INF Treaty. Russia has repeatedly stated that it strictly complies with its obligations under the contract. Lavrov noted that Moscow has very serious questions to the United States about the implementation of the treaty by the Americans themselves. In particular, in Moscow they indicate that the United States is stationed on land — at a military base in Romania, and also in Poland — installations capable of launching Tomahawk-type cruise missiles, which is prohibited by the agreement. The Russian side also draws attention to the fact that the US is developing attack drone vehicles, funding research on the creation of a ground-based cruise missile.
