Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, issued a warning to European countries about the dangers of allowing the United States to deploy long-range missiles on their territories. In a video released on Saturday, Peskov explained that if Europe accepts these missiles, they could become targets in future conflicts.
Peskov highlighted that European capitals could be at risk if they host US missiles. He emphasized that Russia has enough military power to counter these missiles, but the main victims would be European cities.
Peskov reminded viewers that during the Cold War, American missiles in Europe were aimed at Russia, and in response, Russian missiles were aimed at Europe. This situation made Europe the primary battlefield in any potential conflict.
According to Peskov, Europe is currently facing many challenges and is not in a strong position. He suggested that history might repeat itself, with Europe once again becoming the main victim in a standoff between Russia and the United States.

During the Cold War, Europe was a key strategic location for both the US and the Soviet Union. Both sides stationed missiles on the continent, which increased the risk of conflict and made Europe a central point of tension.
The potential deployment of hypersonic missiles by the US in Europe is a cause for concern for Russia. Hypersonic missiles are faster and more advanced than previous generations, posing a new level of threat.
Peskov’s message serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance of power and the potential consequences of military decisions. As Europe navigates its current challenges, the possibility of becoming a focal point in a new arms race adds to its list of concerns.
