A very simple one: in that case, we will do the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at a briefing of foreign military attaches earlier, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of staff of the Russian military, warned of a Russian response and said that it would be the countries that host U.S. intermediate-range missiles that would become immediate targets for Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3711\" height=\"2474\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18339389383049.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18339389383049.jpg.jpg 3711w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18339389383049.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18339389383049.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18339389383049.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18339389383049.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18339389383049.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3711px) 100vw, 3711px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Deputy Chief of General Staff of Russia, Valery Gerasimov delivers his speech during a briefing in the Russian Defense Ministry&#8217;s headquarters in Moscow, Russia, Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2018.

The removal of such destabilizing weapons would in theory allow more time for decision-making in case of a warning of a missile attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. ally Germany, which has been keen to preserve the treaty, called on Russia to try to save it while it still has the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The INF treaty is of great significance for security in Europe,&#8221; government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer said in Berlin on Wednesday. &#8220;The German government welcomes the fact that the American government is giving its preservation another chance,&#8221; she added, referring to the 60-day deadline. She also noted that the issue came up in a meeting between Chancellor Angela Merkel and Trump in Argentina on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is now up to Russia to
