Russia and the US blame each for abandoning a landmark arms control agreement on missiles, with Moscow warning of a new arms race
Russian Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy listens to speakers during a security council meeting about the escalating tensions between the Ukraine and Russia at United Nations headquarters, Nov. 26, 2018.
Acting US Ambassador Jonathan Cohen countered that Russia decided more than a decade ago to break its INF treaty obligations and has deployed multiple battalions of ground-launched cruise missiles "with the ability to strike critical European targets." Polyanskiy asked whether they understand that by supporting the US "step by step, you are returning to a historic situation when missiles were targeting European cities from different sites."
Cohen also asked Russia to tell the council what caused the Aug. 8 explosion at a Russian navy test site on the White Sea in the country's northwest. "What system was it, and what purpose does that system serve?"Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted Wednesday that the explosion, which killed two servicemen and five nuclear engineers and injured six, hasn't posed any radiation threat , but he remained coy about the circumstances of the incident.
