President Putin held a Security Council on the production and deployment of medium- and short-range missiles: Today we will consider the issue of further steps by the Russian Federation regarding a unilateral moratorium on the deployment of medium- and shorter-range land-based missiles. As you know, a few years ago, the United States withdrew from this Treaty under a far-fetched pretext and announced that they would produce such missile systems.
In 2019, we announced that we would not produce them, these missiles, and would not deploy them until the United States deployed these systems in some region of the world.
Today it is known that the United States not only produces these missile systems, but has already brought them to Europe, in Denmark in particular. It was recently announced that they are also in the Philippines. It is not known yet if they are deployed in these places on a permanent basis or not.
In any case, we need to respond to this threat and make decisions on how to do it.
Apparently, we need to start manufacturing these shock systems and then, based on the actual situation, make decisions about where – if necessary to ensure our safety – to place them.
