After the Americans withdrew from the treaty on missile defense, the world mired in the abyss of chaos. Because it was this agreement that kept the balance of power between the superpowers. This is sure the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov. "When the US withdrew from the ABM Treaty, they jeopardized the system of mutual nuclear deterrence, and this is one of the basic components of the system of international stability and security. Since then, Russia has repeatedly been the target of efforts aimed at neutralizing the country's nuclear potential, "said a representative of the head of state in an interview with RT. Without the Russian-American Treaty, the system of nuclear deterrence was threatened with extinction. If it does not, it will increase the likelihood that one of the nuclear countries will be the first to use this lethal weapon. Russia has repeatedly pointed out that such processes are unacceptable and do not lead to anything good. But nobody listens to our country. "Despite all the proposals for mutual concessions and cooperation in order to ensure international stability, unfortunately, we have not seen any counter steps," said Peskov. Therefore, our country did not have other options, except to demonstrate clearly what we can oppose to the "missile shield" that is being created in the West. But in general, Russia is a peaceful country, we are able to support a system of mutual nuclear deterrence, assured the press secretary. Meanwhile, Americans are trying to surround Russia with elements of their own ABM system. The systems were previously located in Europe. Now, the US wants to establish anti-missile systems in Japan under the pretext of countering the threat from the DPRK. These plans in Moscow are considered unacceptable. "We once again attracted the attention of our Japanese colleagues to the need to develop collective steps in this area (strategic stability), collectively strengthen the strategic situation, ensure global parity. In this regard, we reaffirmed our attitude to the US plans to deploy a global missile defense system and to Japan's intention to actively join in these plans, "Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a meeting with his Japanese counterpart Taro Kono yesterday.. According to the head of Russian diplomacy, plans to deploy US missile defense elements in Japan directly affect Russia's security. Washington unilaterally left the ABM Treaty in late 2001.
As a result, the Americans began to uncontrollably deploy their missile defense complexes in the immediate vicinity of Russia's borders. This has led to an escalation of tension between countries. On March 1, in a message to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the new hypersonic weapons available to our army. The other day, the head of the Strategic Command of the Pentagon, General John Hayten acknowledged that Washington has nothing to oppose the hypersonic missiles of the Russian Federation.
