Russia is calling on the United States to abandon plans to deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"We urge Washington to show responsibility and, following the example of Russia, to abandon the deployment of the medium- and shorter-range systems the Americans have built, which the Pentagon has actively talked about," Ryabkov said at a briefing.

Earlier, the United States officially withdrew from the Cold War-era INF Treaty over Russia's alleged violations of the agreement.
