News - Germany FM accuses Russia of deploying banned missiles in Kaliningrad

Russia has developed and deployed banned missiles in Kaliningrad that can carry a nuclear warhead, announced Annalena Baerbock, the Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany. "Russia has been preparing for war [in Ukraine] for a long time. Over the years, it has first violated and then condemned disarmament treaties. It has created a forbidden weapon that can be equipped with a nuclear warhead. And it deployed it in Kaliningrad, less than 600 kilometers from Berlin,” Baerbock wrote in her article in Bild. In this regard, she said, Germany must invest in "its security and strength," which "includes the decision to deploy American long-range weapons systems." "We need a reliable deterrent against Russia," the German FM emphasized, adding that this will also help defend "the Poles, the Baltic states, and the Finns."
