Russia: Putin expects ‘common sense’ to prevail over Trump’s decision to abandon INF

Russian President Vladimir Putin expects "common sense" and "a sense of mutual responsibility" to form the core of a "long-overdue" dialogue with the USA over strategic stability in the World, he said during the annual meeting on the armed forces development in Sochi on Monday.
"I would emphasize one more time, we are ready to maintain a dialogue with the US partners over this crucial issue and we hope it will take it with a great sense of responsibility," he said in reference to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, the INF, from which the USA has recently threatened to withdraw.
The Russian President emphasized that such a decision, if implemented, would be met with retaliation.
