The Russian parliament has approved a bill to withdraw from the nuclear deal with the US.
It is confirmed that Russia will withdraw from the US-Russia Historic Nuclear Convention in 1987.
The suspension of its membership was approved by the Upper House of Parliament.
The bill, presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin, was approved by the lower house of parliament on June 18.
At the height of the power struggle between the US and the Soviet Union in 1987, the leaders of the two countries signed the agreement.
The nuclear deal, called INF, has been the subject of much controversy in recent days.
The global competition for nuclear weapons could also have serious consequences for humanity as a whole.
According to this historic INF Convention, nuclear missiles are also banned from 500 to 5,000 kilometers.
US President Donald Trump announced last month that he would withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty within six months, saying Russia was violating the agreement.
President Putin said his country was ready to withdraw immediately.
President Putin said Russia, like the United States, is developing intermediate-range nuclear missiles, marking the start of a new arms race.
