Ryabkov said there were no international restrictions on the deployment of the Nutshell

Russia has no international obligations to limit the deployment of the new Oreshnik missile system. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on November 25.

"The President [of Russia Vladimir Putin] has clearly stated that we are talking about a new medium-range system. Accordingly, in the absence of any restrictions in this sphere, including as a result of the deeply erroneous step of the first administration of [ US President Donald] Trump to withdraw from the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF) and break it, there are no restrictions on the deployment of this kind of systems," TASS quoted him as saying.

The diplomat added that under the current US-Russian memorandum of 1998 on missile launch notifications, Washington was sent a message about the upcoming test combat launch of the Oreshnik.

According to the deputy minister, the United States did not contact Russian Federation after the use of the new Russian missile.

Strip it down to "Oreshnik": Putin supported the adoption of the missile system into service

At a meeting with the developers, the president called this complex a guarantor of Russia's security

Earlier in the day, Ryabkov, speaking to Izvestia, called Putin's statement on the use of Oreshnik missiles in connection with the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attempts to attack facilities in Russia with long-range weapons a warning to the West. According to him, the head of state's address points to the need for Western politicians to stop and stop raising the stakes.

On November 21, Putin said that Ukraine had used Western long-range weapons against the Russian state, causing the regional conflict to acquire elements of a global conflict. In response, the newest ballistic missile "Oreshnik" was tested under combat conditions. The strike hit the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk.

The next day, the Russian leader indicated that a decision had been made to mass produce these missiles and the Russian Federation would continue testing them.

The Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles was concluded between the USSR and the US in 1987 and prohibited the two states from producing and deploying intermediate-range and shorter-range ballistic and cruise missiles. On August 2, 2019, the MRMD lapsed due to the US withdrawal. Russia was also forced to suspend its obligations, while expressing readiness for other countries to join the document.
