29 July 2024 at 02:07 Putin warns the US against deploying missiles in Germany Russian President Vladimir Putin says that the decision by Germany and the US to deploy American long-range missiles in Germany from 2026 is reminiscent of the events of the Cold War. He says that Russia can deploy similar weapons that can hit Western targets, writes CNN. – If the US implements such plans, we consider ourselves free from the agreement not to place similar weapons, Putin said in a speech on Sunday. Putin said that the US weapons could possibly be equipped with nuclear warheads in the future. He also compared the plans to the 1979 decision to deploy nuclear intermediate-range missiles in Western Europe, which Soviet leaders took very seriously. However, the NATO decision in 1979, known as the double decision, was a response to the Soviet Union’s deployment of similar missiles. (NTB/news)
