- This decision follows the 2019 U.S. withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and growing U.S. and NATO missile deployments near Russia.
- Russian officials linked the move to U.S. missile deployments in Europe and the Asia-Pacific and said Moscow would decide specific responses through interdepartmental analysis.
- Deputy Security Council Chairman Medvedev stated on X that Moscow's opponents must adjust to the changed circumstances and cautioned that additional measures should be anticipated.
- President Putin previously announced plans to deploy the new Oreshnik missile in Belarus, whose multiple warheads reach speeds up to Mach 10 and could be as devastating as nuclear attacks.
