Russian President Vladimir Putin has called to reckon with the changing military-political situation in the world and the United States’ withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty when taking a decision on the development of the defense sector, ONA reports citing TASS.
"It is necessary to take into account the changing military-political situation in the world which is adversely impacting regional and global security. I mean first of all the United States’ withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and a number of other factors," he said opening a regular series of government meetings on the development on Russia’s defense sector.
