Russia does not rule out new deployments of nuclear missiles in response to the planned US stationing of long-range conventional weapons in Germany, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted as saying on Thursday.
Interfax news agency cited Ryabkov as saying that the defense of Russia’s Kaliningrad region, which is wedged between NATO members Poland and Lithuania, was a particular focus.
“I am not ruling out any options,” the agency said he told reporters in Moscow when asked to comment on the US deployment plans.
By deciding to deploy US long-range missiles in the country, Germany is taking on the role of NATO's main pillar in Europe, a very risky move, and something Russia will respond to, Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev said.
