Russia Warns New U.S. Missile Base in Poland Is Priority Target, Citing Nuclear Risk
Nov 21, 2024, 09:30 AM
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced that the recently opened U.S. missile defense base in Redzikowo, Poland, which is part of NATO's Aegis Ashore missile defense system, has long been a priority target for potential destruction by Russian forces. She described the base as a provocative step by the United States that undermines strategic stability and increases the risk of nuclear confrontation. Zakharova emphasized that the facility leads to an increase in the overall level of nuclear danger and could be hit with new Russian weapons, highlighting escalating tensions between Russia and NATO over military installations in Eastern Europe.
