Russian President Vladimir Putin says the decision by the United States to deploy long-range American missiles in Germany starting in 2026 is "reminiscent of events of the Cold War" and could prompt Russia to deploy similar missiles in response.
"If the United States implements such plans, we will consider ourselves free from the unilateral moratorium on the deployment of medium- and short-range strike weapons, including increasing the capabilities of our Navy's coastal forces," Putin said when speaking at Russia's annual Navy Day in St Petersburg.
Putin said the decision by the United States and Germany to begin "episodic deployments" of the long-range missile capabilities of their Multi-Domain Task Force in Germany starting in 2026 would put Russian infrastructure within range of the missiles to be deployed.
