Russia willing to end nuke treaty

BY VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press

MOSCOW Following in the foot- steps of the U.S., Russia will abandon a center- piece nuclear arms treaty but will only deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles if Washington does so, President Vladi- mir Putin said Saturday. President Donald Trump accused Moscow on Friday of violating the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty with “impunity” by deploying banned missiles. Trump said in a statement that the U.S. will “move forward” with developing its own military response options to Russia’s new land-based cruise missiles that could target Western Europe.
