NATO allies condemned Russia's withdrawal from the key post-Cold War Conventional Armed Forces in Europe treaty limiting military hardware deployments. NATO said the withdrawal amid Russia's war on Ukraine undermines security, so members intend to suspend treaty operations as long as needed. Earlier, Russia exited the 1990 pact it blamed the U.S. for undermining by expanding NATO. The treaty capped key conventional arms between the Atlantic and Urals to build trust. Russia's move enables larger force deployments near NATO borders, ending an arms control treaty amid severe tensions over Ukraine. NATO affirmed full support from all allies to suspend the unraveling pact after Russia's withdrawal.
