[ad_1] By Anton Kolodyazhnyy and Guy Faulconbridge MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia will scrap a moratorium on the deployment of intermediate and shorter range nuclear-capable missiles because the United States has deployed such weapons in various regions around the world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Sunday.
