said Gryzlov.
The Russian ambassador added that they would, despite the outcry in Europe and the United States. According to him, it is even good, since the West is beginning to pay attention to the fact that parity must be defined.
If we are talking about the deployment of American nuclear weapons in European countries, and we are talking about five countries today – Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Turkey, we must take measures that will strengthen the security of our Union State

Gryzlov drew attention to the fact that the territory of the Union State is legalized, unlike other countries where the United States deploys nuclear weapons.
