<p>The US briefed North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Allies on 29 July on its
conclusion that Russia is in violation of its obligations under the 1987 Intermediate-Range
Nuclear Forces Treaty. The UK and other NATO Allies are considering the detail of
this briefing carefully. Although this is a bilateral Treaty to which the UK is not
a party, the Government is clearly concerned at reports that Russia has breached its
obligations under the Treaty, and is another example of Russia not adhering to international
obligations and norms. The Government fully supports the statement made by the NATO
Secretary General urging Russia to work constructively to return to full compliance
in a verifiable manner.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
