dissolution of the antiballistic missile treaty now the same thing can happen to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty and the fate of these strategic goals reduction treaty is also not clear if all of that's destroyed nothing will remain in that area nothing will remain except an arms race the russian president has somewhat confirmed what military experts have been warning for quite a while for now since the u.s. president warned that he wanted to leave the i.n.f. treaty because right now this document is viewed as a cornerstone of global stability i should say pretty much all over the world the united states do not see that way they believe at least according to trump's national security adviser john bolton just yesterday here in moscow he said well according to the united states the treaty is expendible they accused russia of violating it and they say that a lot more countries like for example china should be part of this right now bilateral agreement between russia and the united states but according to gladden important this is something that europe has to rely on when it comes to security and th

he was referring to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty which requires the u.s. and russia to eliminate their mid range ground based nuclear missiles russia has responded to trump a statement warning that pulling out of the deal could lead to to retaliate or measures. we condemn the attempts to get concessions from moscow by using blackmail especially over an issue that has value for both international and nuclear security as well as for maintaining world stability the nuclear arms treaty will be discussed in moscow on monday when u.s. national security advisor john bolton meets with russia's foreign minister because only a tranquil and kevin one discussed what america's withdrawal could mean for the world . mr bolton isn't the only critic of the deal america's doing it right and russia is not living up to the end of the bargain that's how christ and donald trump mr bolton's boss explained why he's saying no so-called i.m.f. treaty russia has violated the agreement they've been violating it for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or.

now this refers to the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty this was signed in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven and it was viewed as a key moment in deescalating essentially ending the cold war and now the treaty essentially outlaws any nuclear missiles between the range of one thousand kilometers and five thousand kilometers now repeatedly russia has been accused of violating the i.n.f. treaty now we have heard a response of russia's president vladimir putin says that if the usa does indeed withdraw from the treaty and begin production there would be a mirror like response from russia let's leave look at what putin has said he says and united see what is real and if our american partners x. the agreement we will give an immediate and reciprocal response we've complied with the agreement and we will continue to do so as long as opponents do the same. now if indeed the united states scraps the treaty this will be a dramatic shift a break from what has been standard operating procedure in washington regarding its agreements with russia and trump may face opposition from within

the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty, or inf, dates back to 1987.w and washington from developing missiles with nuclear warheads. mr trump says the russians have simply not honoured the deal. but russia's deputy foreign minister insists that's not true — and warned that withdrawal ‘would be a very dangerous step‘. and the former soviet leader mikhael gorbachov, who negotated the treaty with president reagan, said ditching it showed a ‘lack of wisdom' on the current president's part. we'll have the very latest from moscow injust a moment — but first, here's our washington correspondent, chris buckler. a moment and an image that let the world know that the cold war was coming to an end. three decades ago, the then american president and soviet leader agreed the intermediate—range nuclear forces treaty that led to hundreds of missiles in both countries being destroyed, but that was a different era. while the nuclear threat isn't what it once was, for years, america has been concerned about russia's testing and deployment of a cruise missile that it say
