Russia: US supplying missiles to Japan; Problems for Russia border

The chain of accusation does not seem to end soon, as Russia and US both are digging deep in past, opening up about each others and accusing in open.

The accusation chain saw Russia accusing US of training militants with offering proof of satelite and drones, US accusing Russia of helping North Korea in building nuclear weapons by selling missile plans and now its Russia's turn again.

Russia's deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov on Saturday accused the United States of violating a key arms treaty by selling a missile defence system to Japan.

"The US is deploying them (missile defence systems) at their military bases in Romania and Poland, that is near our western borders, which goes against the 1987 INF Treaty banning the deployment of such systems on the ground," Ryabkov said in a statement published on the Russian Foreign Ministry website.

"The fact that such complexes could now appear on Russia's eastern borders creates a situation that we cannot ignore in our military planning," said Ryabkov.
