At the NATO summit in Washington, Germany agreed to host US medium-range missiles from 2026, marking a significant shift in European defense strategy.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz defended the decision, citing Russia's aggression and increased military threats.

The plan includes stationing Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, capable of reaching deep into Russian territory.

This move has sparked memories of the Cold War era and drawn sharp criticism from Moscow, which views it as a direct threat to Russian security.

The Kremlin warned of potential countermeasures and hinted at revising its nuclear doctrine.

Meanwhile, NATO leaders reaffirmed their commitment to Ukraine's future membership and pledged continued military support.
