Ukraine bombs Russian oil depot as Putin warns US and Germany in Cold War-like arms race

Russian President Putin warned the United States and Germany on Sunday against the Cold War-era arms race. He was responding to plans earlier this month by the US and Germany to put US long-range missiles on German soil by 2026. In this way, the US wants to emphasize that it supports NATO and defends European territory. Germany and the US say the long-range weapons have a greater range than current weapons on European soil.

In response, Putin wants to use long-range weapons that can reach Europe. He said this during a speech on Sunday to Russian, Chinese, Algerian and Indian sailors on the occasion of Russia’s Navy Day. According to him, American weapons from Germany – perhaps even nuclear ones – could reach the Russian border in ten minutes.

Russian and American diplomats insist that diplomatic relations between the two countries are now worse than when the US and the Soviet Union threatened nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Both countries emphasize the importance of expansion, but continue to move in opposite directions.
