Putin New Speech: 'If U.S Breaks Deal...' Russian President's Chilling Threat To U.S. & NATO

Oneindia

In a dramatic statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern ultimatum to the U.S., warning that the INF Treaty could collapse if Washington fails to uphold its commitments. The treaty, which prevents the deployment of intermediate-range missiles, has been a cornerstone of arms control for decades. However, Putin's announcement signals that Russia may abandon its unilateral restraint if the U.S. proceeds with deploying similar weapons. The Russian leader's comments come amid heightened tensions over missile defense systems and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The future of global arms control hangs in the balance as both nations face off over military supremacy.     #PutinUltimatum #INFTreaty #USRussiaTensions #GlobalArmsControl #MissileCrisis #PutinOnUS #INFDeal #NuclearDiplomacy #RussiaUSRelations #ArmsControlFail #PutinSpeaks #USBreaksDeal #MissileDeployment #RussiaDefense #InternationalConflict  Also Read  INF Treaty collapse: Russia holds Nato responsible, asks it not to follow US blindly :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/inf-treaty-collapse-russia-holds-nato-responsible-asks-it-not-to-follow-us-blindly-2847053.html?ref=DMDesc  US suspends INF Treaty: Trump says will work on ‘military response’ options :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-suspends-inf-treaty-trump-says-will-work-military-response-option-russia-2845829.html?ref=DMDesc  US dumps INF Treaty: Nato seeks constructive relation with Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-dumps-inf-treaty-nato-seeks-constructive-relation-with-russia-2845825.html?ref=DMDesc

00:00It's been a well-noted innovation.

00:04We have used it as a response.

00:06They are working on the deployment and redeployment of missile systems in Europe, and we will

00:14continue this work, creating new systems, are working on the deployment and redeployment

00:21of missile systems in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

00:27And we used to have a treaty which regulated these activities, but it has now no longer

00:35in force.

00:36Due to the actions of the United States, we have underscored many times that we will not

00:43deploy intermediate-range missiles until the United States deploy similar weapons in a

00:49region of the world.

00:52That was essentially a unilateral obligation undertaken by Russia.

00:57But if the United States start deploying such weapons, then any and all such voluntary restrictions

01:04will be lifted.

01:07And considering the situation, we have to take additional measures to ensure our safety

01:12and the safety of our allies.

01:15The Oreshnik intermediate-range strike complex has been a well-noted innovation.

01:23We have used it as a response to the Western long-range weapons being deployed in Ukraine.

01:33It was used in a non-nuclear form, and we must ensure this mass production of these

01:39complexes to protect ourselves and our allies.

01:43We are racking up their military expenses, they are deploying their strike groups near

01:49our borders.

01:52And now there are over 100,000 troops in Europe, and this is far more than the warranted amount.

02:04They are also growing their presence in the Asia-Pacific.

02:08The United States is creating new military and political alliances that undermine the

02:17established security architecture that had been created over decades.

02:22The share of state-of-the-art military equipment in nuclear forces is now 95 percent, and the

02:31basic principles governing the use of such weapons have been updated.

02:37As outlined in the updated state nuclear deterrence policy, and once again so that

02:45no one accuses us of nuclear saber-rattling, it is a deterrence policy.

02:52Our priorities include maintaining stability, strategic security, protecting territorial

03:00integrity and sovereignty of our country through the development of our strategic nuclear

03:09forces.

03:11And we will continue this work, creating new systems.
