Russia and the US traded accusations at the United Nations Thursday of risking a new arms race as China said it would play no part in any new missile deal.

The United Nations Security Council holds a meeting on threats to international peace and security, at the UN headquarters in New York, on Aug. 22, 2019. Russia’s deputy UN envoy on Thursday appealed to European countries to heed the United States’ recent withdrawal from a Cold War arms control treaty and warned of a possible new arms race.

Russia had requested the meeting after the US tested a type of missile that was banned under the 1987 INF agreement, which restricted such medium-range weapons. “US flight tests to develop a ground-launched, conventional capability are neither provocative nor destabilizing. We will not stand idle,” he added.

The blast killed five scientists and caused a spike in radiation levels, although Russian authorities have remained tightlipped on the nature of the explosion.
