Moscow is ready to respond if Washington moves to place weapons on Greenland, a senior Russian official has said.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Russia will take military measures should the United States follow through on proposals to deploy its Golden Dome missile defence programme to the Arctic island.
Ryabkov made the comments to reporters at the Russian embassy in China on Tuesday, Russian state news agency TASS reported. His words came two days before the expiration of the New START treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control pact between Washington and Moscow.
“If [the Americans] opt to pump some weapons systems to the region or deploy certain elements of their Golden Dome concept [in Greenland], it will be a situation that would require military and technical compensatory measures, and our specialists will be quite ready to take them,” Ryabkov said.
“There can be no doubt about it.”
