Russia forced to consider its reaction to "NATO threats"

The missile shield in Europe is a clear violation of Russian-American arms treaties, Putin also said and added that the anti-missile facilities "can be easily repurposed for firing short and mid-range missiles," RT reported.

However, the Russian leader stated, "we're not going to be dragged into this race," and added:

"We’ll go our own way. We’ll work very accurately without exceeding the plans to finance the re-equipment of our Army and Navy, which have already been laid out for the next several years. But we’re going to make corrections to those plans to neutralize the rising threats to Russia's security."

NATO missile defense installation in Deveselu, Romania, became operational on Thursday. The alliance has stated that its goal is to protect Europe from ballistic missile threats.

This has angered Moscow, whose representatives described is as "a direct threat" to the country's security.
