Russia has issued a stern warning concerning discussions about Ukraine potentially deploying Patriot MIM-104 air defence systems over Russian territory. The state-run TASS news agency today reported comments from Moscow’s foreign ministry, which stated that such discussions demonstrate the West is on a “path of escalation.”
“Russia will take all measures to thwart such threats,” the foreign ministry declared, underscoring the nation’s determination to counter what it perceives as provocative actions.
