[QUOTE]The Russian Foreign Ministry considered the deployment of US missile defense complexes in Poland and Romania as "the grossest breach of obligations" given by Washington under the treaty on medium and shorter-range missiles Thus, the USA gives "knowingly incorrect information about its fulfillment of obligations under the INF Treaty", the Russian Foreign Ministry is sure. In addition, Washington ignores Russia's serious concerns about how the United States fulfills the terms of the treaty. TRFM mentioned that the United States deployed "Aegis Eshor" complexes, "which include vertical launch systems similar to the Mk-41 universal installations, at its anti-ballistic missile defense base in Romania. Such installations are capable of launching the medium-range missiles Tomahawk". In addition, Washington plans to deploy the Aegis Eshor complexes on the base in Poland. "The indisputable fact is that this is a gross violation of the obligations under the INF Treaty," the report said. Earlier, Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of Russia, Lieutenant-General Victor Poznikhir, said that US missile defense systems have sufficient potential to intercept Russian and Chinese ballistic missiles. Such a factor threatens the strategic forces of Moscow and Beijing, he said.

For some reason I misread that as Poland and Lithuania, wish it was that cool.
Hilarious. Russia has been violating the INF treaty for a decade with their ground-launched cruise missile systems, some of which are deployed in Kaliningrad.
