Germany has called for the development of an alternative to the American Tomahawk missiles together with Ukraine after the US refused to deploy such systems on German territory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deutsche Welle reports<\/a> this, citing Roderich Kiesewetter, a security expert for the governing Christian Democratic Union party.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He called US President Donald Trump’s decision a “huge mistake” and stressed that it weakens Russia’s deterrence and directly affects Europe’s security.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Kiesewetter, Europe must urgently develop its own long-range systems with Ukraine to obtain a fully fledged alternative to American missiles by 2030.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He emphasized that the absence of American medium-range missiles in Germany is a more serious challenge than even the reduction of the US military contingent in Europe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his opinion, such a Washington policy actually plays into the Kremlin’s favor, as it sends a dangerous signal to Vladimir Putin against the backdrop of the constant nuclear threat from the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kiesewetter also recalled that Russia violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2017, so there is no point in counting on agreements with Moscow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Security analyst Nico Lange supported the need to create European long-range weapons independent of the US. He noted that since 2018, Russia has deployed Iskander systems in the Kaliningrad region, which pose a constant threat to Europe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to him, without American missiles in Germany, Europe risks a serious gap in defense and becoming vulnerable to blackmail from Russia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As previously reported, European politicians and defense officials fear that Russia may use the next 1-2 years to escalate the conflict outside Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n

Recall that the Kremlin is actively forming the psychological and informational basis<\/a> for a possible future war against NATO. At the same time, Russia is creating a network of “Trojan <\/a>horses,”\u00a0buying up real estate near military bases of NATO countries, to launch a coordinated sabotage campaign. The Kremlin has also intensified its propaganda campaign regarding the creation of the “Narva People’s <\/a>Republic,”\u00a0which may indicate that the Kremlin is preparing to attack Estonia.<\/p>\n
