Russia says it may deploy nuclear missiles in response to US weapons in Germany

Russia is considering beginning new deployments of nuclear missiles following the planned U.S. stationing of long-range conventional weapons in Germany, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov who was quoted debating this on Thursday, July 18.

Ryabkov said that every potential response is on the table and refused to rule out deploying nuclear missiles in response to the United State’s actions in Germany.

Russia’s Kaliningrad region is located between NATO countries. Protection of the region is a key concern for Russia, which Ryabkov emphasized through the Interfax news agency.
