Russia warns of countermeasures as US to withdraw from nuke treaty

"Many countries in Asia and other regions are developing systems that could qualify as missiles of short or intermediate range," Peskov said. "Nevertheless Russia and the US have remained two key countries accepting responsibility for global stability and security."
Peskov rejected accusations that Russia could have violated the deal, saying: "Russia has been and remains committed to the provisions of this agreement." Russian President Vladimir Putin "has always said that breaking this deal would harm global security and stability," the spokesman said.
