The United States decided to suspend the missile contract with Russia on February 2

US authorities announced the withdrawal of the Medium and Small Missile Treaty (RLMD) on February 2.

He stressed that Russia has six months to save the DRSMD.

"If Russia does not restore full and verifiable compliance with the treaty for six months, destroying the missiles violating the DRSMD, the installation and the related equipment, then the contract will be completed", – said Pump

In early December, Pompeo had promised that it would be done within 60 days if Russia did not stop violating the terms of the treaty.

Washington believes that Moscow has violated it by launching the 9M729 missile. The United States said the missile could travel more than 500 kilometers, which contradicts the DRSMD. The Russian army argued that the plant refueled with a quantity of fuel such that she could not cross the 500-kilometer border.

The United States and the USSR concluded an agreement on medium and short-range missiles in 1987.
