Chief of General Staff: Who places the US missiles, will be a target for Russia
US threats to withdraw from the INF Treaty met with a natural reaction from the Russian military. Army General Valery Gerasimov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, gave his clear answer to the Americans and their allies.
The general, speaking at a briefing before the military attaches of foreign states, warned European countries against deploying American missiles in their territories:
To the words of the head of the Russian General Staff, the Europeans really should listen. After all, Washington, leaving the INF Treaty, actually substitutes its NATO allies for Russian missiles. First of all, this applies to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Therefore, Germany is so wary of plans to break the contract.
Recall that the United States accuses Russia of non-compliance with the INF Treaty. The other day, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo presented to Russia ultimatum and gave our country 60 days to stop alleged violations of the treaty.

I would like to convey to you through your leaders that if the INF Treaty is destroyed, it will not go unanswered on our part. You, as military professionals, should understand that it is not the territory of the United States, but the countries that hosted the American complexes with intermediate and shorter-range missiles that will prove to be targets for retaliation by Russia.
