Russia has criticized Lithuania’s reaction to the deployment of additional ballistic missile systems to a neighboring Russian exclave, saying the weapons posed no threat to the NATO Western military alliance member.
After visiting NATO forces based in the town of Rukla, Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite told reporters Monday that “Iskander missiles are being stationed in Kaliningrad for permanent presence as we speak†and that the nuclear-capable mobile missiles were a threat to “half of all European countries,†the Associated Press reported. Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Tuesday that Russia had every right to place weapons on Russian soil.
