Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of pushing Russia to a "red line". Putin stressed that Moscow was forced to respond.
Putin said at a meeting Russian defense officials paid attention to the development of the US and the potential for short and medium-range missile deployment with great concern.
Reported by Reuters on Monday, December 16, Putin said Russia would lift all voluntary restrictions on its missile deployment if the US continued deploying the missile to Ukraine.
Putin, who said Russian troops in Ukraine had taken control of 189 settlements so far this year, said Russia's nuclear weapons were there for deterrence.
