RFE: Russia Says It's Ready For Talks With U.S. On Key Arms-Control Treaty
Russia says it is prepared to hold talks with the United States to maintain a landmark arms-control treaty signed between U.S. and Soviet leaders in 1987.
The Russian Foreign Ministry's statement on December 8 coincided with the 30th anniversary of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which eliminated an entire class of cruise and ballistic missiles in Europe and established a verification framework to ensure compliance.

A senior U.S. State Department official said last month that Russia has developed a nuclear-capable cruise missile "in clear violation" of the INF Treaty.
