Russia will be 'forced' to make new missiles if US does same: Putin
Moscow, Aug 5 (AFP) Aug 05, 2019
President Vladimir Putin on Monday said Russia would be "forced" to develop new missiles if the US does the same, after Washington pulled out of a Cold War-era nuclear arms deal last week.

"Russia will be forced to begin the full-scale development of similar missiles" if it receives information the United States has completed new systems, the president said in a statement.
