Russia to Take All Necessary Measures to Neutralize Escalation Threats, says Foreign Ministry

The West is moving down the path of escalation, and Russia will take all necessary measures to neutralize the threats associated with it. This was stated to TASS by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko, commenting on the potential deployment of Patriot air defense systems by Kyiv in Russian airspace.

“We know that Western countries are on the path of escalation, and therefore we will take all necessary measures to neutralize threats related to such escalation,” he noted.

Earlier, Major General Christian Freuding, who leads the working group for coordinating assistance to Kyiv under the German Ministry of Defense, did not rule out the use of Patriot air defense systems in Russian airspace to eliminate aerial targets.
