Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of pushing Russia to its "red lines"—actions it has explicitly stated it would not tolerate—and claimed that Moscow was forced to respond. <br /><br />Speaking at a defense meeting, Putin expressed concern about U.S. development and potential deployment of short- and medium-range missiles. <br /><br />He warned that if the U.S. proceeded with deploying these weapons, Russia would lift its self-imposed restrictions on deploying similar missiles.<br /><br />#Russia #Putin #USA <br />
