Kremlin says Russia has no restrictions on intermediate-range missile deployment

MOSCOW, Aug 5 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Tuesday that Russia no longer has any restrictions on where it places its intermediate-range missiles, the day after Moscow said it would withdraw from what it called a self-imposed moratorium on their deployment.

The U.S. withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty, which banned the use of short-range and medium-range missiles, in 2019, citing Russian non-compliance. Russia has since said it would not deploy such weapons provided that Washington did not do so.
