Strategisch heeft de president overschot van gelijk. Offensieve i.p.v. defensieve wapens worden naar de onmiddellijke omgeving van de Russische grenzen gebracht. De mogelijke toetreding van Oekraïne tot de navo is de druppel.
The situation continues to deteriorate, including in the strategic area.
Thus, positioning areas for interceptor missiles are being established
in Romania and Poland as part of the US project to create a global missile
defence system. It is common knowledge that the launchers deployed
there can be used for Tomahawk cruise missiles – offensive strike systems.
In addition, the United States is developing its all-purpose
Standard Missile-6, which can provide air and missile defence,
as well as strike ground and surface targets. In other words,
the allegedly defensive US missile defence system is developing
and expanding its new offensive capabilities.
The information we have gives us good reason to believe that
Ukraine’s accession to NATO and the subsequent deployment
of NATO facilities has already been decided and is only a matter of time.
We clearly understand that given this scenario, the level of military threats
to Russia will increase dramatically, several times over. And I would like
to emphasise at this point that the risk of a sudden strike at our country
will multiply.
