In 1987 US has done an agreement with Soviet Union. It was an agreement to control arms. Russia have struggled to break the agreement of controlling nuclear weapons. Russia has said to US to inspect their 9M729 cruise missile system. Russia in return demanded to inspect US system. US has said to Russia to come back on agreement up to 2 February but Russia has breached the treaty and its Foreign Minister has said that they have other better options.
After meeting US secretary for arms control, Andrea Thompson said that Russia has refused for inspection of their Missile System and according to Washington, They have broken Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) of 1987. Agreement had been between US President Ronald Regan at that time and leader of Soviet Mikhail Gorbachev. Two nuclear forces had agreed at that time on treaty.
