Russia's Withdrawal from European Armed Forces Treaties: A Shift in Power Dynamics

NATO Allies condemn Russia's withdrawal from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) and its aggression against Ukraine, which undermines Euro-Atlantic security. In response, Allied States Parties intend to suspend the operation of the CFE Treaty for as long as necessary. Allies emphasize their commitment to reducing military risk, building trust, and inviting other states to join efforts in increasing predictability and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area. NATO will continue to consult and assess the implications of the current security environment on arms control efforts.

Russia Withdraws from Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe

Russia has formally withdrawn from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), citing NATO's expansion as the reason for its exit. The CFE, signed in 1990, aimed to limit the use of conventional weapons. Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the treaty no longer served its interests, as NATO countries had circumvented restrictions. This move follows Russia's recent revocation of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and test-launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. NATO has criticized Russia's withdrawal, stating that it undermines Euro-Atlantic security.
