Putin has said that he will lift the moratorium on missile deployments if the US deploys its own in Germany. He argues that this is reminiscent of the Cold War situation with the deployment of US Pershing missiles in Europe.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said he would lift the moratorium on the deployment of his own missiles if the United States deploys its own in Germany. UNN writes with reference to the Russian media.

If the United States deploys weapons in Germany, Russia will consider itself free from the moratorium on the deployment of its own (missiles - ed.)

- Putin said.

He also noted that important Russian government and military facilities would allegedly be within the range of US missiles deployed in Germany.

The flight time to the targets on our territory of such missiles, which in the future can be equipped with nuclear warheads, will be about 10 minutes. This situation is reminiscent of the events of the Cold War, associated with the deployment of American Pershing ballistic missiles in Europe

- Putin said.
