Germany and France have spoken out against American plans to deploy nuclear weapons in Europe.
At a secret meeting with German lawmakers, the deputy head of the German Federal Intelligence Service Guido Muller urged his colleagues to treat the statements of the Russian politicians with understanding, as they were mostly targeted for a domestic audience.
The U.S. previously accused Russia of carrying out tests of medium-range cruise missile P-500 (maximum range 500 km), as well as ballistic missile RS-26, as the website Gazeta.ru reports.
Washington also announced its plans to station 5,000 soldiers and heavy weapons in Germany to protect Eastern Europe and the Baltic states from potential aggression from Russia.
