00:00Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the Kremlin will retaliate if the U.S. pursues
00:06deploying long-range missiles from Germany in 2026, according to recent announcements.
00:12At a naval military parade at the Baltic seaport city of St. Petersburg, the leader cautioned
00:18that this type of missile could reach Russian territory in 10 minutes and be equipped with
00:23nuclear warheads.
00:24In the case of implementation of such plans by the United States of America, we will consider
00:28ourselves free from the one-sided moratorium on the deployment of medium and short-range
00:36strike means.
00:37We will take mirror measures on their deployment, taking into account the actions of the United
00:43States and their satellites in Europe and other regions of the world.
00:48Washington and Germany announced the recently hatched plans as a show of strength to Russia
00:54towards NATO and European defense.
00:56But Putin cautioned the plans reminded him of American medium-range missiles deployed
01:02from Europe, an event strongly associated with the Cold War.
