Russia, under the direction of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has formally withdrawn from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), a key security agreement signed in 1990 that limited the deployment of conventional military equipment in Europe. The withdrawal was announced with Russia citing the expansion of the NATO military alliance as undermining post-Cold War security. In response, the United States, Great Britain, and other NATO members have suspended their participation in the treaty. The British Foreign Office confirmed the suspension of Britain's participation. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has referred to NATO as 'a relic of the past', further escalating tensions.
