In a quick response to Washington’s intention to deploy long-range missiles in Germany, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “The process of developing several strike combat systems has entered its final stage.”
“This action by Russia comes in response to the deployment of US missiles around the world,” President Putin said in his speech at the Russian fleet’s main naval parade taking place in St. Petersburg today.
The Russian president said, “The United States has already practiced transferring missile systems from its territory to Denmark and the Philippines.”
“This situation is reminiscent of the events of the Cold War, when American medium-range Pershing missiles were deployed in European countries,” President Putin said.
He stressed that “if the United States deploys American missiles in Germany, Russia will consider itself not obligated to continue the voluntary moratorium on the deployment of its medium- and shorter-range missiles in the region.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin is participating in the main naval parade of the Russian fleet, which is taking place in St. Petersburg today, Sunday. More than 2,500 soldiers, 20 ships and boats, in addition to one submarine and four sailing ships are participating in the parade.
