Russia says talks with NATO at impasse - Gayo Lues
On Monday, Anatoly Antonov, Russia’s deputy defense minister and chief negotiator with the NATO on the deployment of the missile system, called the missile system a threat to Russia’s security.
Antonov pointed out that Moscow may pull out of the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), signed with Washington in 2010.
“New challenges emerge, including missile and nuclear proliferation … That’s why Russia’s military doctrine envisages the use of nuclear weapons in specific cases,” he said.
“I do not rule out that under certain circumstances we will have to boost, not cut, our nuclear arsenal,” the Russian deputy defense minister added.
Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had accused Washington and NATO of pointing the missile system at his country.
US-led NATO has claimed that the missile system is planned to thwart possible attacks from ‘rogue’ states, and it will go ahead with the plan despite Russian concerns.
However, Moscow says it wants legal guarantees that the system will not be aimed at Russia.
