Kremlin on Hegseth's war preparation remark: Russia is also strengthening its military
Retired Admiral Avakyants called for serious attention to Hegseth's war-preparation directive amid concerns over Tomahawk missile supplies to Ukraine.
- On Tuesday, Avakyants said Russia must take with utmost seriousness a meeting where Pete Hegseth told U.S. generals at Marine Corps Base Quantico to `prepare for war`.
- A 60 Minutes segment showed Moscow's uncertainty about Ukraine using Tomahawk cruise missiles and guests discussed Vice President JD Vance's announcement and President Donald Trump's authorization of long-range strikes.
- Avakyants warned Moscow can destroy Europe and must make `unpopular but strong decisions` about Russia's nuclear forces, aligning with Russian state television pundits' frequent boasts.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that Russia, like the United States, is committed to strengthening its military while seeking peace, and is likely to approve record military spending in October.
- Pundits on Russian state television often push anti-Western rhetoric, and observers say Avakyants' comments mirror this media messaging though they do not necessarily reflect Kremlin thinking.
