NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg speaks during a press conference at the Swedish Government headquarters Rosenbad in Stockholm, on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023. ** FILE **BRUSSELS — NATO on Tuesday announced the formal suspension of a key Cold War-era security treaty in response to Russia’s pullout from the deal.
NATO said that “a situation whereby Allied State Parties abide by the Treaty, while Russia does not, would be unsustainable.”In response, NATO said, allies who had signed “intend to suspend the operation of the CFE Treaty for as long as necessary, in accordance with their rights under international law. This is a decision fully supported by all NATO Allies.”
The treaty - aimed at preventing Cold War rivals from massing forces at or near mutual borders - was signed in November 1990, but not fully ratified until two years later. It was one of several major Cold War-era treaties involving Russia and the United States that ceased to be in force in recent years.
