Russia and China condemned the recent U.S. test of a cruise missile that flew further than what was allowed under a decades-long treaty, warning of new tensions between the top powers.
Russia and China have criticized the United States' testing of a missile banned for over three decades until the recent collapse of a Cold War-era treaty, with both countries calling it an attempt to draw them into an expensive and dangerous rush for new weapons.
Quoting Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, Moscow's embassy in the United Kingdom tweeted:"Russia will not be pulled into [a] new arms race." He pointed out that"the missile had been fired using the Mk41 vertical launching system, noting"that's a universal launching system that is suitable for both firing SM-3 interceptor missiles and ground-to-ground and surface-to-surface cruise missiles." He added:"All that is regrettable. The United States has evidently set the course for fomenting military tensions."
