US withdrawal from the Treaty on the Elimination of Medium and Short Range Missiles may lead to the collapse of the system of international agreements in the field of security, disarmament and arms control, said the Foreign Ministry of Belarus. Such a situation is fraught with an escalation of the conflict potential and a new spiral of the arms race. The Foreign Ministry is convinced that within the framework of a professional and mutually respectful dialogue of the parties concerned, the Treaty should be maintained. Earlier, the United States officially notified our Foreign Ministry of its decision to withdraw from the Treaty six months later.
