Kremlin: We will confront the establishment of long-range missiles of the United States in the European continent

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in response to the possible deployment of American long-range missiles on the European continent that Russia has sufficient capabilities to respond to such an action, and in any case, the possible victims of this action will be European countries. 

According to Tass news agency, the Kremlin spokesman stated that during the Cold War, the United States deployed its missiles on the European continent and made this continent the main victim of any possible conflict. “Europe is falling apart right now,” he said. This is not the best time for Europe and history will repeat itself in any way”.

America announced last week at the NATO summit that it plans to deploy its long-range missiles in Germany from 2026. If this happens, it will be the first time since the beginning of the Cold War that American long-range missiles will be deployed on European soil. Such a decision has met with a sharp reaction from Russia, and the country’s deputy foreign minister has warned that Moscow will respond militarily to this action.
