Kremlin denies it violated missile treaty

Russia has rejected US allegations it deployed a cruise missile in violation of a Cold War-era arms control treaty.

Russia is committed to honouring its international obligations, including in relation to missiles, the Kremlin says, responding to reports it violated a treaty with the United States by deploying a new ground-based missile.

"Russia has been and remains committed to its international commitments, including to the treaty in question," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a daily telephone briefing.

"Nobody has formally accused Russia of violating the treaty," he said.

On Tuesday, media reported, citing US officials, that Russia had deployed a ground-launched cruise missile despite US complaints that this violated an arms control treaty banning ground-based US and Russian intermediate-range missiles.
