Federal foreign Minister : Maas: Russia can save a disarmament Treaty with USA

German foreign Minister Heiko Maas has appealed during his visit to Moscow to urge Russia, in a dispute over the prohibition of atomic medium-range missiles to relent. The so-called INF Treaty between the United States and Russia have made Europe a safer place, said Maas on Friday at a press conference with Russian foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. "He touched our security interests in a fundamental way." The foreign Minister added: "We are of the opinion that Russia can save the contract."

The Nato had accused Russia to break with new cruise missiles of 500 to 5500 kilometers range against the more than 30-year-old INF Treaty. The United States recognized Russia, then an Ultimatum of 60 days to hold back to the INF Treaty called for the destruction of the weapons of the type 9M729. The claim expires in a few days.

Lavrov commented that Russia keep the Treaty in a very transparent manner. "Nevertheless, we are rejected very coarse, and given an Ultimatum," he said. Moscow also suggested that American experts could inspect the weapons and control. This, too, had been dismissed.
