Germany was concerned to respond to the deployment of missile complexes “Iskander-M” in the Kaliningrad region. This was stated by Commissioner for disarmament and arms control in the German foreign Ministry Patricia Flor, reports “Interfax”.
“Of course, the deployment of missiles “Iskander-M” in Kaliningrad does not contribute to building trust, because the missiles that are placed there, you can fly to Berlin,” explained Flor.
According to her, Germany has no plans retaliatory measures unilaterally because it is a member of the NATO military Alliance, which will be agreed upon next steps.
Authorized the German Minister added that Germany is committed to maintain a dialogue with Russia. In her opinion, at the moment in Europe there are no effective mechanisms of control over conventional arms, so Berlin is resuming consideration of this issue.
The decision on the transfer of missile complexes “Iskander-M” in the Kaliningrad region was made in October 2016. The range of the missile is 500 km.
