The seven-member Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has condemned the deployment of a US-led NATO missile system in Europe.
The organization, including Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhistan said that the unilateral deployment threatens global security.

Holding a meeting in the Russian capital of Moscow on Tuesday, the leaders of the CSTO member states said in a statement, "The unilateral deployment of strategic missile systems by one state or a group of states without due account for the lawful interests of other countries and without extending legally-binding guarantees to the latter may damage international security and strategic stability in Europe and the world as a whole."

The Russian government has long opposed NATO's disputed plan of deploying the missile system in Europe, arguing that the system in its "back yard" is not to secure Washington's European allies but is effectively aimed at Russia.
