Russia urges US and allies to join moratorium on missile deployment in Europe

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has urged the US not to deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe

“Our country has unilaterally made a commitment not to deploy the first systems covered by the (intermediate-range and shorter-range missile) treaty in those regions where similar US-made systems will not be deployed. We call on the US and its allies to follow our example”, – Lavrov said, speaking at the Conference on Disarmament.
