- Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to resume the production of nuclear missiles, which were previously banned by an old US treaty. According to Putin, the renewal of missile production is necessary because the United States has resumed production and deployed missiles in Denmark and the Philippines. He made the remarks during a televised Security Council meeting on Friday.
The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty prohibits ground-based nuclear and conventional missiles with a range of 310 to 3,415 miles (500 to 5,500 kilometers). It was signed by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and US President Ronald Reagan in 1988, and was considered a landmark in the field of arms control.
“Today it is known that the United States not only produces these missile systems, but has already brought them to Europe for training, to Denmark, " Putin told the council. Its presence in the Philippines was recently announced, “adding that " there is a need to start production of these offensive systems, and based on the current situation, we will determine where they will be placed to ensure safety.”
