FDFA regrets the suspension of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty

The FDFA has in the past called upon the United States and Russia to immediately clarify existing differences regarding a potential non-compliance with the treaty and to refrain from withdrawing. It hopes that the parties will use the 6-month transition period that started on 02.02.2019 to retain the INF Treaty as a central element of European security.

A new arms race is in nobody’s interest. The FDFA calls on all states to preserve the established arms control treaties and to work towards preventing further armament and proliferation.
