US briefs Nato on Russian 'nuclear treaty breach'

January 31, 2014 03:25

Russia has been accused by the US of breaching a key arms control treaty banning medium-range nuclear missiles. According to reports in the New York Times, citing US officials, Russia has been conducting flight tests since 2008 of a ground-launched cruise missile. Such a test would fall under the treaty's parameters.

The US has not publicly stated that Moscow is in breach of the treaty but it has now briefed its Nato allies on the issue. Washington is also reported to have raised concerns with the Russians several times during the past year but has been told that there is no issue to be resolved.
