NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has held a press conference after the meeting of the Russia-NATO Council. The meeting focused on the fate of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty) in light of Washington’s decision to withdraw from the agreement.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged Washington on Friday to abandon its plans to implement a missile defence system in space, noting that such a move may trigger an arms race.
The official also stressed that NATO will continue dialogue with Russia on the deal on different levels further noting that the US didn’t want a new Cold War and an arms race.
