President Vladimir Putin said Friday that “a new arms race has been unleashed in the world” as the United States moves forward with a missile defense system in Eastern Europe. Russia will field new weapons in response, he said, dismissing American assurances that the missile system is not directed against Russia as nothing more than “diplomatic cover.”
“It’s not our fault. We didn’t start it … funneling multi-billions of dollars into developing weapons systems,” Putin declared in what may be his final major address before he leaves the Kremlin after presidential elections March 2, to become prime minister.
“Russia has and always will have a response to these new challenges,” Putin declared. “Over the next few years, Russia will start production of new types of arms, with the same or even superior specifications compared to those available to other nations.”
