Kosachev: the possible lifting of the moratorium on the deployment of missiles in various regions is adequateMOSCOW, April 26 – RIA Novosti.
In an atmosphere of distrust, the possible lifting of the moratorium on Russia's deployment of medium-range and shorter-range missiles "in various regions" would look adequate, the decision can be made promptly, without legislative formalization, Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev wrote in his telegram channel.
"There are signs that the United States is increasing its missile potential in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. The most sensitive act may be the decision of the Americans to deploy their missiles in Japan. If this happens, the main and last condition of Russia's unilateral moratorium will be shaken: the non-deployment of American shorter- and medium-range missiles in other regions of the world," the politician noted.
The senator believes that the current atmosphere of absolute distrust in the missile sphere, as well as the visible intentions of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region threaten Russia's national security.
"It seems that in such a situation, the possible lifting of the moratorium on Russia's deployment of missiles "in various regions" would look adequate and proportionate. Such a decision can be made promptly, at any time, and will not even require legislative registration, since the moratorium was not formalized with the help of federal law," he said.
