According to the spokesperson for the American Embassy in Moscow, “the United States and its allies all consider that the 9M729 Novator system does not comply with the clauses of the INF Treaty.” Furthermore, he adds, “ Russia has already tested this system for ranges greater than 500 km, and nothing can change this fact.”
The conclusion of this declaration, in substance very undiplomatic, therefore closes any option for negotiations between the two countries concerning this system, one demanding its immediate destruction, the other refusing the Ultimatum.
It is therefore more than likely that the invitation made by Moscow to representatives of the EU, NATO, BRICS and COTS will not be able to provide any clarification on the performance of this system, and that The United States will withdraw from the INF Treaty very soon.
