The Russian Foreign Ministry has called the US decision to withdraw from the INF Treaty a serious mistake, APA reports citing Sputnik.

The ministry noted that the move was preceded by deliberate efforts on the part of Washington to undermine the accord, creating a pretext for its collapse, and saying those efforts indicate that the US has steered a course to destroy all international agreements that doesn't suit Washington for any reason.

The Foreign Ministry also called on the US to discard plans for deploying short- and medium-range missiles and promised that in this case, Russia won't be deploying similar armaments in response.
