Only the USA has recently voiced an intention to break that agreement.
That's because the Russians and others don't announce their intention to break treaties.
Show me something other than fake news that says we are going to break a treaty. The only treaty of which I am aware is one that says we won't place weapons in space. Some of our enemies are already believed to have killer satellites. I'm not sure what specifically the treaty says, but those sound like weapons, to me. If they are, then the treaty has already been broken by others.
Oh, wait a minute. I guess they haven't broken any treaties. I've not seen any announcements from them that they were going to do that.
