Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin on Sunday vowed to deploy previously banned long-range missiles close to Western countries if the US goes through with its plan to station similar long-range, nuclear-capable missiles in Germany in 2026.

Speaking at a naval parade in St Petersburg, Putin said if the US goes forward with the move, Russia would take "mirror measures," adding that "we will consider ourselves free" from its self-imposed moratorium on such weapons — in reference to the 1987 US-Soviet treaty that the US pulled out of in 2019.

Putin's remarks followed the July 11 announcement from the US that it will station Tomahawk cruise, SM-6 and hypersonic missiles in Germany from 2026. Such weapons would've been banned under the 1987 treaty and the announcement triggered a diplomatic furore in the halls of Moscow and Washington not seen since the Cold War.

At the time, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed the move, describing it as a "very good decision." He said that Germany must "have its own protection with deterrence," adding that: "We know that there has been an incredible arms buildup in Russia with weapons that threaten European territory."

In Moscow, the US decision was met with condemnation. Sergei Ryabkov, the deputy foreign minister, said that Russia now sees NATO as being "fully involved in the conflict," and that Russia would respond militarily. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was "a very serious threat" and that Moscow would "take thoughtful, coordinated and effective measures to contain NATO."

Responding to reporters' calls to react to Russian remarks, Jake Sullivan, the US national security advisor, described the German deployment a "defensive capability like many other defensive capabilities we've deployed across the Alliance across the decades," adding: "more Russian saber-rattling obviously is not going to deter us from doing what we think is necessary to keep the Alliance as strong as possible."
