NATO suspends participation in Cold War-era security treaty after Russia’s pullout

Nov 11th 2023

  • NATO has formally suspended the Treaty of Conventional Armed Forces in Europe in response to Russia's withdrawal from the pact.
  • Most of NATO's allies, who had signed the treaty, are freezing their participation in it because they believe that a situation where Russia doesn't abide by the treaty is unsustainable.
  • Russia has blamed the U.S. and its allies for its withdrawal from the treaty, saying that the treaty had lost touch with reality.
