MOSCOW, December 12 /TASS/. Moscow will not bend to US diktat, Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

The Ministry’s comment came in response to US plans to exert economic and military pressure on Russia over alleged breaches of the Russia-US Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF).

Moscow “drew attention to remarks made by high-ranking US officials during the Congress hearings on December 10, 2014 about US plans to apply measures of economic and military pressure to Russia over alleged violations of the INF treaty by the Russian side.”
