A spokesperson for Russia’s Foreign Ministry has stated that Moscow has identified a major Western military base in Poland as a potential target. The air defense base, known as 'Aegis Ashore,' is located in the Polish town of Redzikowo on the Baltic coast and was inaugurated on November 13. This base houses US ballistic missiles and is a crucial component of the NATO missile shield system designed to intercept incoming missiles.
The spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, emphasized the perceived threats posed by Western military installations like the one in Poland. She highlighted that the missile defense facility in Poland has been designated as a priority target for potential destruction. Zakharova mentioned that Russia possesses advanced weaponry capable of executing such actions if deemed necessary.
Zakharova's remarks come amidst a series of escalating statements from the Kremlin, which have intensified following significant policy developments involving Ukraine and its Western allies this week.
