In an interview with the International Affairs, Grushko said Russia will take necessary response measures to ensure balance in the INF sphere. However, Russia does not plan to deploy its missiles, including in the European part of the country, as long as there are no US facilities of this kind in Europe, he added.
Grushko called on Europeans to prevent Washington from deploying its missiles in Europe, warning them against the possibility of the United States' “absolute military and geopolitical reign.”
