Russia said on Monday that it may deploy nuclear missiles in Europe because it claims NATO is doing the same.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Russia’s state-run RIA news outlet that it saw “indirect indications” that NATO was nearing deployment of intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) in Europe, so it would be “forced” to do the same, Reuters reported.

INF was banned via a 1987 treaty signed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, though it was abandoned by the Trump administration in 2019, citing years of Russia violating the pact.
Ryabkov claimed Russia now has a “complete lack of trust” in NATO.
