Russia will have to respond to the steps of the West, in spite of the accusations of aggressive behavior, said President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with heads of international news agencies.
«Threats (Nuclear Iran ) no, but the missile defense system (in Europe) is still under construction, so we were right when we said that we were deceived us insincere, referring to the alleged Iranian nuclear threat in the construction of a missile defense system. So it really is – once again trying to cheat us “, – said the head of the Russian state.
«We know roughly what year the Americans will have a new missile»
«We know roughly what year the Americans will have a new rocket that will not be 500 km (have a range), and more, and from that moment they begin to threaten our nuclear potential. We know for years what would happen. And they know that we know “- TASS quoted him as saying.
According to him, in this case on the world will go into a whole new dimension, RIA “Novosti»
«That’s the problem. Make pretend as if nothing is happening. But I do not even know how to reach “, – said Russian President.
He said that the strategic missile defense system – it is not part of the defense, and offensive strategic potential, “and it works as a team with offensive strike systems”.
«What it (the deployment of US missile defense in Europe) all will – I do not know, but I know for sure, that we will have to respond, “- said the Russian leader.
He added with a smile, he already knows that Russia in any case “will be blamed again in aggressive behavior, although it is the only answer.”
«It is clear that we will have to ensure the safety of not only his, but it is very important to ensure that the strategic balance in the world”, – Putin said.
The Russian leader said that the US “despite our objections to our proposals for real cooperation not want to cooperate with us to reject our proposal and act on your plan.”«You can believe me or not, but we are offering specific forms of cooperation, they really were all rejected,” – he said.
The Russian president reiterated that the elements of the NATO missile defense system built in Romania.
«They said something about all the time? We need to guard against the Iranian nuclear threat. Where nuclear Iranian threat? It is not “- said Putin.
He added that the United States had initiated a contract with Iran to resolve the nuclear issue.
«We have supported. If not for the US position, would not have this agreement. This, of course, the merit of President (Barack) Obama, because this contract is correct, he defused the situation around Iran, and President Obama can write it down in your record as a result of their work in this direction “, – says the Russian leader.
However, he stressed that more Iranian nuclear threat there, and continues to build the missile defense system.
«Who built this system (defense system in Europe), is now put missiles there, but these missiles are placed in capsules, which are used for the” Tomahawk “sea-based launches of medium-range missiles. There are now laying interceptor missiles capable of striking targets at a distance of 500 km, “- said Putin.
«It is you only hang noodles on the ears, as we say, and you in turn hang their people”, – Putin appealed to the heads of foreign news agencies.«We will work with any newly elected President (US), – Putin said. – We can only regret that the Russian card is used as a kind of dimensional coin almost every US election campaign, it is counterproductive. ”
However, according to Putin, “no matter what kind of election rhetoric, we will not look at the words, but by deeds of the newly elected head of the American state, will seek ways to normalize relations, cooperation in the sphere of economy, international security. ”
«We have a lot of problems that we can solve effectively together, including the fight against terrorism”, – he added.
On the possible accession of Canada to the missile defense project, Putin said that if she wants to join, let him do it, but Russia will think about their safety.
«Relations Canada and Russia after the arrival of a new prime minister have a chance to recover. Mister Prime Minister told me about it when we were on the “twenty” in Antalya, said that he would like to think about how to restore our relationship in its entirety, we welcome this, we will jointly address this challenge, we will work together “, – Putin said.
The Russian president stressed that this requires steps on both sides.
Let’s remind, Russian President Vladimir Putin over the years he said that the European missile defense system the United States is a direct threat to Russia. The experts have repeatedly noted that the giant structure created by the European missile defense may be required only when the US attack on the country, having large stockpiles of such weapons (Russia and China), for the assured destruction launch-volley hundreds of MDBs.
