The move comes after Russia said it had finalised its withdrawal from the Treaty of Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, which aimed at preventing Cold War rivals from massing forces at or near mutual borders.

Most of NATO’s 31 allies have signed the Treaty of Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, which was aimed at preventing Cold War rivals from massing forces at or near mutual borders.NATO said its action was required because"a situation whereby Allied State Parties abide by the Treaty, while Russia does not, would be unsustainable."The long-expected move came after both houses of the Russian parliament approved a bill proposed by President Vladimir Putin denouncing the CFE.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said the process of the formal withdrawal from the treaty has been completed, without elaborating what that entailed. It blamed the US and its allies for the withdrawal and the West’s allegedly"destructive position" on the treaty.
