MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. The US missile defense base in Poland has long been considered a priority target for potential neutralization by the Russian Armed Forces, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated during a briefing.

"Given the level of threats posed by such Western military facilities, the missile defense base in Poland has long been included among the priority targets for potential neutralization. If necessary, this can be achieved using a wide range of advanced weaponry," the diplomat said.

Zakharova stated that the US-NATO construction project, ongoing for nearly a decade with complete disregard to Russian security concerns, has consistently been a focus of Russia's attention. She emphasized that Russia has spent these years preparing countermeasures in response.

Zakharova described the establishment of such a base as yet another blatantly provocative move, calling it part of "a series of deeply destabilizing actions by the Americans and their North Atlantic allies in the strategic sphere."

"This move aligns with the longstanding and destructive practice of advancing NATO's military infrastructure closer to Russia's borders," the spokeswoman stated. "Such actions undermine strategic stability. Coupled with other harmful military-political and military-technical measures aimed at projecting US power thousands of kilometers from its own territory to exert pressure on Russia and other nuclear powers, this inevitably heightens strategic risks and, consequently, raises the overall level of nuclear danger," Zakharova added.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I have said for over a year that WWIII would commence along the Polish border when the Russians finally had had enough of the killing of Russian citizens in Mother Russia by American weapons, supplied, maintained, targeted and fired by Americans.

Putin demonstrated his Oreshnik missile today. He said he would give notice before his next retaliatory escalation, live MIRVs on those Oreshnik missiles! If you listen to his full address today, it renders down to a basic declaration of war on the U.S. and Britain. Putin promise to use “live” Oreshniks on military assets. I believe we have been warned.

Say a prayer that no more NATO missiles will be launched into Russia.

MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. There are currently no countermeasures for the Oreshnik missile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

Speaking in a televised address, the head of state assured that Russia will issue notifications before using this type of missile.

"We will do it due to humanitarian concerns - openly, publicly, without any concerns about any countermeasures from the enemy, who will also receive this information," Putin said. "Why without any concerns? Because there are currently no countermeasures for this weapon at this moment."
