The Gorbachev-Reagan nuclear pact is dead, Putin announces the resumption of
Vladimir Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for the resumption of production of medium-range missiles, banned by the treaty once signed by the US and the former Soviet Union.

The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, or INF, which banned land-based nuclear and conventional missiles with a range of 500-5,500 kilometers (310-3,410 miles), was considered a benchmark for arms control when the Soviet leader , Mikhail Gorbachev, and US President Ronald Reagan signed it in 1988.

The US withdrew from the treaty in 2019, arguing that Russia had violated it.

"We must start the production of these strike systems and then, based on the current situation, make decisions on where - if it is necessary to ensure our security - to place them," Putin told a council meeting. of Russia's national security.

Putin said that Russia has not produced such missiles since the cancellation of the 2019 treaty, but that "today it is known that the United States not only produces these missile systems, but has already brought them to Europe for training, in Denmark. It was recently announced that they are in the Philippines."

Since withdrawing from the treaty, the US Army has moved forward with the development of a ground-launched, intermediate-range conventional missile capability called the Typhon, which would be prohibited under the INF. The Typhoon launches two Navy missiles, the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile and the Standard Missile-6.

The US military conducted tests of them during an exercise in the Philippines this spring.

The end of the Nuclear Forces Treaty was a milestone in the deterioration of relations between the US and Russia.

The last remaining arms control pact between Washington and Moscow is the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which limits each country to no more than 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers.

It is set to expire in 2026, and the lack of dialogue on a successor agreement has worried gun control advocates.
