Russian Foreign Ministry: Russia is ready to deploy missiles near the borders of the European Union

Russia will deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles near the borders of the European Union if the United States places similar missiles in Europe. This was stated by Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko in an interview with Interfax.

According to Grushko, Russia is ready to deploy missiles on the EU border, but will not do so until the United States deploys its missiles in Europe. He warned that some countries, such as Poland and the Baltic states, wishing to deploy American weapons on their territory, should understand the consequences of such a move.



We have already stated that if in Europe there will be no American intermediate and shorter-range missiles, then we will not set. As soon as the missiles appear - we will post. (...) those countries that today literally fight for any kind of American military presence, for the status of “front-line” states — I mean Poland and the Baltic countries — must understand all the costs of such a choice from the point of view of their own security and its allies

- said Grushko.

Also, the deputy foreign minister did not rule out the transfer of Russian tactical nuclear to the borders of the European Union weapons in the event that American tactical nuclear weapons are relocated from Germany to Poland. Answering the corresponding question, Grushko said that in this case "all necessary measures will be taken."

If we see a movement towards the formation of specific plans or appropriate preparation, we will take all necessary precautions, including military ones, to ensure security

- he said.

    Already tired of these "curtsies".
    Something Russia is trying to persuade, and the United States put a bolt on it ...
    Poles, Germans, naglichans and other Romanians should clearly understand that the first nuclear-powered missiles will arrive not at American bases (of which everything will already be dispersed), but at your CAPITALS !!!
    To the centers where YOUR rulers made decisions! On your own heads!

      I don’t think that the mericatos will directly fight with us (in the near future, at least) But to stuff the little ones, and provoking a military conflict, and then shove them and all the shit out of us, it’s a joy to them.

        All this is understandable, but in Europe, too, not quite the last nerds are sitting. It is one thing to give in to Russia from behind the owner and it is another thing to get involved in a suicidal military conflict with Russia. Understanding perfectly, their inevitable military defeat.

          I agree with you. The elections held in Pshekia confirmed who the merkatos have at this time a beloved wife. And this wife)) will crawl out of the skin, and lie under anyone you want at their direction, and will do whatever the zaluzhniki want.

          Defeat, not defeat, but the specific damage will be for sure, I think so. Already seen enough and heard enough of the liberated with saved cities European countries in Eastern Europe and now I think no one will spare anyone!

        Then it is necessary to imitate the construction of storage facilities for nuclear weapons in the Kaliningrad Region, while at the diplomatic level, everything is passionately denied, and the Poles will be sure that Iskander with the Special BB is standing behind them ... They won’t add to them, but the fervor will go cold.

        1) in any case, a big war, the US will fly.
        2) if only Europe arrives, the USA will lose a very large market
        3) from above, everything is polished by the collapse of the exchanges ... which roll around like pins

        After WWII, only nuclear deterrence pacified all possible opponents, and now it is rightly said that a sovereign state on its territory can place anything and anywhere, and it's time to put crosses on maps, where there is always a choice in Vilnius, Warsaw, incl. and to Moscow and St. Petersburg. In the event of a war, no one will escape and the survivors will envy the dead.

      What to vote about? Have you read the article carefully? We do not mind, please post, we have previously warned that we will adequately respond to this step. We do not even scare, but we just say that you yourself, with your strong-willed, "independent" decision, can adjust your security in any direction you want. You are your own boss (perhaps smile ) think for yourself what you want.

      A sovereign state, of course, can do whatever you want to do, but it would not hurt to take into account the interests of neighbors. The fact that we will host the answer is a weakness. It is necessary to declare that we will not tolerate and take comprehensive measures up to the elimination of the threat. Even the theoretical possibility of a repetition of June 22 cannot be allowed.

      Quite right! (I am "FOR"!) ...... Just like KNOWING - on which specific objects on THEIR territory will receive a NUCLEAR STRIKE (and in the first place!).
      Well, then - right (sovereign!!!) each to decide: To be him a TARGET or NOT to be .....
      PS "Psheki" have made their choice - they want to be a TARGET - WILL BE!

      Well, yes, if it’s ours, then it’s understandable, but what about third countries? Sizzling obviously claim to be the first country in the world destroyed due to the interests of a third party, and of its own free will and with great enthusiasm. However, the team under the yellow-blue flag is trying to get around them at the turn, well, and the Baltic farmers collectively fight for third place, managing to languishly quarrel among themselves.

    In the 80s, in the USA and we have published colorful books "Where does the threat to the world come from." So in both books, the long-suffering Hamburg object of a violent blow. In the bombing of the allies, a fire storm arose like we did in Stalingrad during the bombing by the Germans. Until now, the Germans cannot count how many of them died then. The figures are comparable with the atomic bombings of the Japanese. In Hamburg, I touched the stones of the Church of St. Nicholas, they really flowed from the heat. Scary! We must remind to begin.

        Ah ah ah, what are we susceptible. Nothing that, for example, France produces 70,6% of energy in 23 power plants? You need to compare the population density of the Kaliningrad region? Or maybe I suggested nuclear fuel sprinkle roads from ice

    ... but in Europe too not quite the latest cretins sit
    Looking at the Poles with the Balts, this cannot be said. Don't give a damn about their countries and population, the main thing is that Russia should be as bad as possible. So they spread directly in front of the Americans, inviting troops into their territory. And the deployment of American smd missiles in Europe is a matter of time.

    How it all starts ... what Will the Romanians already make decisions on the use of nuclear weapons against Russia? Or did you just like Vladimir Vladimirovich's expression “Decision-making centers?” The strike will primarily be focused on military targets, not on capitals. The same Bucharest will not be able to solve anything at all, not to mention the use of nuclear weapons

    Are we taking into account the interests of our neighbors by deploying Iskander missiles in the Kaliningrad region, which will cover all of Poland, not counting other NATO members? Everyone does what he sees fit for himself. And there is a difference whether NATO will deploy "shorter" or medium-range missiles in Poland.

    In fact, a book entitled "Where Does the Threat to Peace Come From" was published only in the USSR. The Americans had a similar book called Soviet Military Power. By the way, in our book there was a similar scheme, but only the Nizhniy Tagil plant.

    And you, my friend, is also a sadist. Our citizens in the Kaliningrad region are guilty of what you are preparing for a similar fate. Or citizens of fraternal Belarus? After all, where the wind will turn is unknown. And the result will be "clean", not contaminated Poland and the Kaliningrad region unsuitable for life ...

    You just have to send them notes. And in them indicate the goals and provide a scenario of how long the Poles and Balts will live in the event of the "X" hour. Let them think. It's good to run with flags and shout about freedom. but if they know that they will have 20 minutes to live, after the start of hostilities, hurry to decrease sharply ...
