Russia doesn't believe Japan's promises to remove Typhon missile systems post military exercises with US and Australia: Rudenko

Moscow, Sep 28 (UNI/Sputnik) Russia does not believe Japan's promises to remove Typhon missile systems following the conclusion of joint exercises with the US and Australia and has warned that such actions will not go without consequences, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said.
"The Japanese promise us that they [the Typhon systems] will supposedly be removed after the military exercises conclude. Unfortunately, however, we have little trust in the current authorities, so we have warned that such actions will not go unanswered," he told Russian media.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Russia had sent a note of protest to Japan regarding the deployment of US ground-based Typhon systems, which are designed to launch medium- and shorter-range missiles, on the island of Kyushu.
