US says it takes Russian threats to strike new American base in Poland ‘seriously’
US National Security Spokesperson John Kirby assures that the US will do everything necessary to protect American military personnel in Europe amidst rising Russian threats.
The US has responded to Russia’s threats to destroy the new American missile defense base in Redzikowo, Poland. US National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby stated during a briefing that Washington takes such threats seriously, according to the official website of the White House.
On November 21, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova threatened to strike the “Aegis Ashore” air defense base in Redzikowo. She said the base “is a priority target for potential neutralization,” as per Politico. Her remarks are part of a new wave of threats from Moscow following the US approval for Ukraine to carry out strikes inside Russia using Western-made long-range weapons.
