Kremlin says world ‘more dangerous’ if US drops nuclear treaty
MOSCOW, Oct 22, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The Kremlin on Monday said the world
would be less safe if Washington goes ahead with plans to withdraw from a
Cold War-era nuclear weapons treaty that banned intermediate-range missiles.
“Such steps, if taken, will make the world more dangerous,” said
presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov as he rejected claims by US President
Donald Trump that Russia had violated the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear
Forces Treaty.
