Russia throws threats at European capitals over US missiles deployment

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has warned that European capitals could become "potential targets" if their countries agree to host US long-range missiles.

Peskov, in an interview with Russian propagandist Pavel Zarubin, stated that while Russia has "enough potential" to deter these missiles, the "potential victims are the capitals of these European states." He emphasized that during the Cold War, US missiles stationed in Europe targeted Russia, and in turn, Russian missiles targeted Europe, making European countries the primary potential victims of any conflict.

"The United States deployed such missiles, different types of missiles of different ranges, but always aimed at our country. Our country, accordingly, has identified these European locations as targets for our missiles," Peskov said.

In response to a comment that the previous confrontation ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Peskov remarked: "And Europe is now bursting at the seams. This is not the best time for Europe. Therefore, the repetition of history in different configurations is inevitable, that's what I'll tell them."
