translated from Spanish: U.S. gives Russia ultimatum to comply with agreement of nuclear weapons

NATO Foreign Ministers met together ask Russia to comply with the Treaty for the Elimination of nuclear weapons of medium and short-range (INF), making in his exhortation that depends on Moscow than d icho Pact is preserved.
Although the tone of the Ministers was somewhat mild, the Secretary of State of the USA, Mike Pompeo took the tougher stance, giving an ultimatum to Moscow, noting that “United States declared to Russia in substantial violation of the Treaty and we will suspend our obligations as” remedy in 60 days, unless Russia return to a full and verifiable compliance”.
In the communiqué of NATO, reported this Tuesday, December 4, the Ministers recognized that it is not sustainable for some signatories of the Treaty to fulfil it and others not, in reference to what has been United States with respect to Russia and that it has resulted in the decision to Trump to withdraw from the organization.
“United States has continued fulfilling the obligations of the INF Treaty since it came into force. The allies have emphasized that a situation in which U.S. and elsewhere fully comply with the Treaty, but Russia is not, not sustainable”, stressed Ministers in his call to the Kremlin.
The allies recognized expressly that Moscow has “developed and deployed” missiles 9 729 M system, which “violates the INF Treaty and poses a significant risk for the Euro-Atlantic security”. As indicated, this situation “erodes the foundations of effective arms control and mine Allied security,” as well as “part of a pattern of broader behavior that seeks to weaken the general Euro-Atlantic architecture”.
Despite the demands made to Russia, NATO Ministers assured that aspire to maintain a constructive relationship with Moscow and that they are still open to dialogue.
Russian response to the appeal of United States and NATO, Russian politicians invited the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, to visit Russia and see for himself that this country does not violate the Treaty on Elimination of medium and short-range nuclear weapons.
“We can invite Pompeo 729 system test and he will see that the missile flies at a distance of 498 km and does not violate the Treaty,” said Frants Klintsévich, Member of the Committee of Defense and security of the Russian Senate. The Senator was referring to the cruise missile Russian invest 9M 729 (SSC-8, according to NATO classification), that United States and the Atlantic Alliance believe that it violates the Treaty signed in 1987.
“We don’t violate it. That’s a lie. 9 M 729 missile has a range of less than 500 kilometres and is within the Treaty,”insisted Senator, who said that this is an”invented excuse”to confuse the international community. That way, once convinced the countries that Russia violated the agreement, United States may “develop their own military plans”.
