"The issue now is the things are deployed and it?s an even greater violation of the INF treaty,? the official added. Moscow also denied it had violated the INF treaty, which helped end the Cold War between the two countries. The other cruise missile battalion has been located at an operational base elsewhere in Russia, the Times quoted one unidentified official as saying. WASHINGTON Russia has deployed a new cruise missile despite complaints by U.S. officials that it violates an arms control treaty banning ground-based U.S. and Russian intermediate-range missiles, a senior Trump administration official said on Tuesday. The Russians have been building and testing these things in violation of the INF treaty going back to the Obama administration,? the official told Reuters, asking to remain anonymous to speak freely.
