The Kremlin threatens Europe and the USA: We can deploy nuclear weapons after Germany was supplied with American missiles

Russia will not rule out new nuclear missile deployments in response to the planned US stationing of long-range conventional weapons in Germany, Moscow's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said. This is not the first time that Russia has publicly threatened Europe and the US with the nuclear option.
"I am not ruling out any option," the Interfax news agency quoted him as telling reporters in the Russian capital when asked to comment on the US deployment plans.
Washington said last week it would begin deploying weapons to Germany from 2026, including the SM-6, Tomahawk and new hypersonic missiles, in order to demonstrate its commitment to NATO and European defense.
Interfax quoted Ryabkov as saying that the defense of Russia's Kaliningrad region, which is sandwiched between NATO members Poland and Lithuania, was a particular focus.
" Kaliningrad is no exception in terms of our 100% determination to do whatever is necessary to remove those who may have aggressive plans and who are trying to provoke us to take some steps that are undesirable for anyone and are fraught with further complications," said Ryabkov.
