Russia to Develop Military Response to US Missile Deployment in Germany

In a move that has sparked concern, Russia has announced plans to develop a military response to the United States’ plans to deploy long-range missiles in Germany. According to local media, the decision comes in response to the US Pentagon’s announcement that it will begin deploying long-range strike systems in Germany in 2026.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was cited as saying that such decisions are aimed at harming Russia’s security. He described the move as “just a link in an escalating course, one of the elements of intimidation” and emphasized that it is part of the policies of NATO and the US towards Russia.

The Pentagon’s announcement was made on Wednesday, stating that the deployment is intended to demonstrate the US commitment to NATO and Europe. However, Russia has expressed concerns that the move could escalate tensions and threaten its national security.

Ryabkov assured that Russia’s response will be determined in a calm and professional manner. The military has already begun working on the matter, and it is expected that the response will be carried out in a responsible and measured way.

The development has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation and has sparked calls for diplomacy and dialogue between the two nations.
