According to him, the potential victims in this case would be the European capitals.
“Of course,” Peskov replied to VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin’s questions about whether Russia will respond to US actions in Europe.
He outlined exactly how Moscow is prepared to respond to new threats.
“The United States deployed different types of missiles, with different ranges, but they were traditionally aimed at our country. That is why our country identified European points as targets for our missiles,” explained the press secretary of the Head of State.
Peskov noted that this is not the first such challenge.
“We have been through all this before. All this has happened before. We have enough potential to stop these missiles,” said the press secretary of the Russian president.
Recall that three days ago it became known about the US plans to deploy hypersonic and long-range weapons in Germany starting in 2026. In particular, we are talking about SM-6 multipurpose missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles and some “experimental hypersonic weapons” that are still under development.
The Berliner Zeitung said that the US plans to deploy long-range weapons in Europe are a signal to Moscow: the range of these missiles is up to 2,500 kilometers. This is the distance to Moscow, St. Petersburg or other major Russian cities.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova suggested that the decision to deploy US medium- and short-range missiles in Germany is an attempt by the White House to save Biden’s reputation and divert attention from its failures.
