  Russia withdraws from the INF Treaty, citing U.S. and NATO destabilization, while criticizing Denmark's support for Ukraine.

The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, a landmark agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union signed in 1987 to eliminate and ban ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers, has effectively collapsed. Russia announced its withdrawal from the treaty, following the U.S. exit in 2019, citing U.S. non-compliance and the development of similar missile systems by other nations like China, which was not a signatory to the treaty. This move has raised concerns about a new arms race, as both nations are now free to develop and deploy missiles previously banned under the INF. The collapse of the treaty is seen as a significant setback for global arms control efforts, potentially escalating tensions and increasing the risk of nuclear proliferation.
