Russia may deploy new strike weapons in response to the planned U.S. stationing of longer-range and hypersonic missiles in Germany, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.

Speaking at a naval parade in St. Petersburg, Russia, Putin vowed “mirror measures” after the United States earlier this month announced that it would start deploying the weapons in 2026 to affirm its commitment to NATO and European defense following Moscow’s all-out invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
