Putin accuses West of pushing Kremlin to ‘red lines’
Russian President Vladimir Putin is accusing the West of pushing Russia to its “red lines” and forcing Moscow into a response.
Putin tells a meeting of defense officials that Russia is watching the US development and potential deployment of short and medium-range missiles with concern.
He says Russia will lift all of its own voluntary restrictions on missile deployment if the US goes through with deploying the weapons.
He adds that Russia is holding its nuclear weapons for deterrence.
