🇷🇺🇺🇸 Russia is ready to take mirror measures if the United States deploys weapons banned under the terms of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in Europe, Vladimir Ermakov, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry's non-proliferation and arms control department, said in an interview.

🗣 "The bottom line is that Russia’s unilateral moratorium on the deployment of ground-based INF missiles is directly linked to US actions in this area. The unequivocal formulations about the inevitability of our mirror countermeasures, used by the Russian leadership when declaring the mentioned moratorium, leave no room for other interpretations," Ermakov said.

Russia believes that the United States is not abandoning the idea of conducting a full-fledged nuclear test as part of the modernization of its nuclear arsenal, Vladimir Ermakov added.
