Russia Considers Nuclear Deployment Over US Missile Plans in Germany

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warns of potential nuclear response to American long-range weapons slated for 2026 deployment.

Ryabkov emphasized that all options are on the table, including deploying nuclear missiles in Kaliningrad.
The US plans to station SM-6, Tomahawk, and hypersonic missiles in Germany as part of NATO's defense strategy.
Tensions between Russia and NATO have escalated since the US withdrew from the INF Treaty in 2019.
Security experts view these moves as part of an ongoing arms race amid the Ukraine conflict.
Russian officials assert that NATO's actions justify their own military responses.
