Putin: America’s actions are reminiscent of the Cold War

Russian President Vladimir Putin, accompanied by Minister of Defense Andrey Belousov and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Alexander Moiseev, participated in the Russian Navy Day today and congratulated the Russian military personnel. He also welcomed the crews of the guest ships from China, Algeria and India.

According to the RT report, in his speech at the ceremony, Putin emphasized that Russia is a naval power and this is a special honor for this country on Navy Day. Putin announced that over the past centuries, the Russian Navy has ensured its sovereignty and independence, and has also made a significant contribution to the development of many national industries.

In his speech, Putin mentioned Russia’s security challenges, especially the agreement between the US and German governments on plans to deploy long-range and high-precision missile systems on German soil from 2026.

The President of Russia emphasized that the important installations of the government administration and the army, administrative and industrial centers and defense infrastructures of Russia will be within the range of these weapons, adding: the flight time of these missiles, which may be equipped with nuclear warheads in the future, It will take about 10 minutes to reach the targets in our territory.

Putin warned: If the United States implements such plans, we will withdraw from our previous unilateral commitment to suspend the deployment of medium- and short-range offensive weapons (in friendly countries), including increasing the capabilities of our naval coastal forces. /p>

The Russian president said that this situation is reminiscent of the events of the Cold War, when American medium-range Pershing missiles were deployed in European countries.
