Medvedev has warned to wait for "further steps" from Russia regarding the deployment of short- and medium-range Russian missiles.
He wrote this to comment on yesterday's statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry that Russia was withdrawing from the moratorium on the number of these missiles.
This category of weapons includes the Oreshnik missile system, which, Putin announced, had entered serial production last week (he said the first serial Oreshnik has already been delivered to the Russian army).
It seems that the Kremlin is desperately trying to come up with a response to President Trump’s threats of sanctions and reports about U.S. nuclear submarines moving closer to Russia.
On August 1, Putin said that Russian and Belarusian experts are working to determine future deployment sites for Oreshnik by the end of 2025. According to Lukashenko, Russia will place these systems in Belarus in 2026.
But Moscow has decided to go even further. In recent days, Russian media started discussing the idea of deploying Oreshnik missiles in other parts of the world:
"Deploying weapons like Oreshnik in faraway countries such as Venezuela or Cuba - to provide cover, security, and to protect the sovereignty of our allies - could serve as a powerful tool for projecting Russia's military presence on a global scale," Alexandr Stepanov, a military expert at the Institute of Law and National Security of RANEPA and senior research fellow at the Institute of Latin American Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with the Russian TASS news agency.
The purpose is allegedly to ensure the safety of Russia's allies in Latin America. But the potential deployment in Venezuela or Cuba would pose a serious threat to the southern regions of the United States - including Florida and Caribbean waters.
