Russian Media: Putin signs to abolish the Treaty on conventional Armed Forces in Europe

[Russian media: Putin signed a decree to repeal the Treaty on conventional Armed Forces in Europe]-- according to reports by several Russian media, including RIA Novosti and Izvestia, according to the relevant documents released on the Russian legal information website on 29 May, Russian President Putin signed a decree abolishing the Treaty on conventional Armed Forces in Europe. According to previous media reports, NATO and Warsaw Pact signed the Treaty on conventional Armed Forces in Europe in 1990, which stipulated the total amount of conventional weapons and verification methods of the two major military groups. After the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, NATO and Russia adjusted some of the terms of the treaty, but NATO members have not approved the adjusted version. As a result, Russia suspended the implementation of the treaty in 2007. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an order on the 10th of this month, entrusting Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Riabkov to assist in reviewing Russia's work on abolishing the Treaty on conventional Armed Forces in Europe.
