A new Russian ground-launched cruise missile is a significant violation of a strategic arms treaty, a senior State Department official said on Thursday.

Rose Gottemoeller, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, said during a speech that Moscow’s breach of the 1987 intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty poses “a serious threat to strategic stability.”

“It is that aspect of a ground-launched cruise missile that is the one about which we have determined is a Russian [treaty] violation,” Gottemoeller said during a U.S. Strategic Command conference on nuclear deterrence.

It was the first time the Obama administration acknowledged publicly the specific missile behind the treaty breach announced late last month.

Gottemoeller said the U.S. government offered to hold high-level talks with Russia with the goal of rectifying the treaty breach at the time Moscow was notified of the violation in formal diplomatic channels.

Russia broke off most bilateral talks with the United States following the imposition of U.S. sanctions for Russia’s military annexation of Crimea’s Ukraine in June.
