German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said the deployment of long-range US missiles in the country was motivated by the need to maintain the balance of power in containing Russia. He is quoted by the media group Funke.
He reminded that Germany “has been within range of Russian missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads for a long time.” In this context, he said, it was extremely important for Berlin to “re-establish the balance of deterrence.” Lindner said that the deployment of American missiles was an important contribution to such efforts.
On July 10, Washington and Berlin issued a joint statement. expressionThe US will begin deploying new long-range firepower, including hypersonic weapons, to Germany “occasionally,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said. The Russian Federation has already begun working to respond to the US decision to deploy medium- and short-range missiles to Germany.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a parade in honor of the Day of the Russian Navy that the Russian Federation has reached the final stage of developing a number of new offensive systems and warned the United States about similar measures in response to the deployment of American missile systems around the world.
Scholz’s previous decision on the deployment of US missiles in the name “coup-like”.
