Dhaka, Aug. 5 -- Russia has announced that it will no longer abide by a self-imposed moratorium on deploying nuclear-capable intermediate-range missiles, citing increasing threats from the United States and its allies.

In a statement issued Monday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the move was in response to Washington's plans to deploy intermediate-range weapons, including Typhoon and Dark Eagle missiles, in Germany starting next year. The ministry said such deployments create "destabilizing missile potentials" near Russian borders, posing a "direct threat" to national security and global stability.
