Kremlin: We are steadily moving toward a Cold War

In a statement to the Russian state channel Rossiya-1, Peskov evaluated the U.S. decision to deploy "Tomahawk" long-range cruise missiles to Germany starting in 2026.

Emphasizing that they will monitor developments regarding the decision, Peskov said, "Germany, the U.S., France, and the U.K. are directly participating in the conflicts in Ukraine. All of this is being done to suppress our country and ensure our strategic defeat on the battlefield."

Stating that the current developments bear the hallmarks of a Cold War, Peskov said, "We are steadily moving toward a Cold War. All of this has happened before."

TO BE DEPLOYED STARTING IN 2026

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov commented in a statement today that they would "develop a military response" to the U.S. decision.

According to a joint statement issued by the U.S. and Germany yesterday, Tomahawk cruise missiles and other long-range weapons will be deployed to Germany starting in 2026.

The U.S. last deployed such long-range weapons to Germany in the 1990s.
