In a significant geopolitical development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for the resumption of intermediate-range missile production. These missiles were initially banned under the now-defunct Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty with the United States.
The INF Treaty, historically signed in 1987, was a cornerstone in curbing missile proliferation and maintaining international security. However, its dissolution has paved the way for renewed tensions and an arms race.
Putin's announcement has sparked worldwide debate, with many expressing worries about the potential for a new era of missile-based conflicts and the broader implications for global stability.
