Did Russia Violate INF Treaty?

It appears that the story about U.S. suspicions about Russia's violating the INF treaty has just received a new life - a report published last week by Josh Rogin, suggests that the administration officials "told lawmakers that Russia had violated [the INF Treaty]" at a closed hearing held on 27 November 2012. The sources of this information are still anonymous, but the language is somewhat stronger than one in the earlier report by Bill Gertz, who quoted an unnamed intelligence official suggesting that the Rubezh missile tested by Russia in June 2013 "would violate the INF treaty" if its true characteristics were known.
