(AGENPARL) - Roma, 29 Maggio 2023(AGENPARL) – MOSCOW lun 29 maggio 2023
The President of Russia
signed Federal Law On the Denunciation by the Russian Federation of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE).
The Federal Law denounces the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), signed
in Paris on November 19, 1990, and entered into force on November 9, 1992.
The Treaty ensured a balance of forces of member
states of the two military-political alliances – the Warsaw Treaty Organisation
and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) – and limited the number of conventional
arms and equipment (combat tanks, armoured combat vehicles, artillery, attack helicopters and combat planes) in the armed
forces of these states. The Treaty was designed to establish a safe and stable
balance of conventional armed forces in Europe and to eliminate the capability for launching a surprise attack or initiating large-scale offensive action in Europe.
The Russian Federation suspended its
participation in the Treaty by Presidential Executive Order No. 872 of July 13,
2007, On the Suspension by the Russian
Federation of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe and Related International Treaties and Federal Law No. 276-FZ of November 29, 2007, On the Suspension by the Russian Federation of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.
The Treaty has lost its relevance and does not
meet Russia’s interests, therefore the Russian Federation decided to withdraw
from it.
