Мнение Павела Подвига о том, почему Россия, как утверждает правительство США, нарушила договор (https://thebulletin.org/2018/10/who-lost-the-inf-treaty/):

The way things work in Russia, the defense industry has a great deal of leeway in pursuing their development projects. [...] the image of President Putin or his generals ordering development of a new system with the specific purpose of circumventing a treaty just does not fit into what is known about the way the Russian leadership operates.
