The Kremlin warns: "European capitals could become targets."
Moscow raise the bar againstUe in response to the decision of the Usa to unfold long-range missiles in Germany.
After reporting «a return to the cold war» and having promised one «military response», the Kremlin warned that the American initiative authorizes Russia to designate as «potential» retaliatory objectives "capital" of the Old Continent.
The US plan for long-range missiles in Germany will not go into effect immediately, but only starting from 2026, first episodically and then lastingly. But the announcement, formalized at the summit of the leaders of the Atlantic Alliance, was enough to trigger a series of harsh reactions from the Russian leaders.
Dmitry Peskov, in an interview with national TV, spoke about one situation "paradoxical": the USA «They have deployed a variety of missiles of different ranges in Europe, which are traditionally aimed at our country, and as a result our country has designated European locations as targets for our missiles».
It counteracts this increasingly aggressive rhetoric the Kremlin's desire to keep a channel of dialogue open with Washington. It is no coincidence that yesterday the Minister of Defense, Andrei Belousov, spoke on the phone about this dossier with the head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin. An interview requested by the Russians, Moscow said, to discuss «how to prevent security threats and reduce the risk of possible escalation».
