"Any territories where Germany plans to deploy long-range weapon systems will inevitably become legitimate military targets for Russia if they are used against us," the Russian Embassy in Germany stated in comments to the Izvestia newspaper.
As reported by the Operative Information Center-OMM, the embassy emphasized that the deployment of such armaments by Berlin poses significant security risks. The diplomatic mission underscored that critics of Germany's increased militarization are correct in their assessment that such sites would be prioritized by Russian defense planners.
This rhetoric reflects the ongoing tensions between Moscow and Western nations regarding the supply and placement of advanced military hardware in Europe. The deployment of long-range strike capabilities is a sensitive issue in European security architecture, often drawing sharp warnings from the Kremlin, which views such moves as a direct escalation of the geopolitical standoff between Russia and NATO member states.
