美國指責俄羅斯部署導彈違反軍控協議

The United States has publicly accused Russia for the first time of deploying a cruise missile in violation of a 30 year-old arms control agreement.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman General Paul Selva confirmed on Capitol Hill the deployment of the land-based missile violates the "spirit and intent" of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

Selva's remarks Wednesday before the House Armed Services Committee were the U.S. military's first public confirmation of reports last month that Russia had secretly positioned them.

Selva testified the deployment poses "risk to most of our facilities in Europe." He added the move is an attempt by Russia to threaten the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.美國首次公開指責俄羅斯部署一枚巡航導彈，從而違反了30年前簽署的軍備控制協議。

美國參謀長聯席會議副主席保羅· 薩爾瓦上將在國會山證實，俄羅斯部署的這枚陸基導彈，違反了1987年簽署的《中程核力量條約》的“精神和意圖”。

薩爾瓦星期三在美國衆議院軍事委員會的聽證會上作證。這是美國軍方首次公開證實上個月傳出的有關俄羅斯祕密部署導彈的報道。

薩爾瓦在聽證會上說，俄羅斯的導彈部署對美國在歐洲的大多數設施構成威脅。他還說，俄羅斯企圖威脅北大西洋公約組織。
