Russia has criticised the planned deployment of longer-range U.S. missiles in Germany as a serious threat to its national security.

A U.S. general emphasizes NATO's requirement for more long-range missiles to deter Russian aggression in Europe. The war in Ukraine highlights the significance of such weapons, prompting European nations to increase defense spending.

NATO needs to increase long-range missiles to confront Russia. Last June, they also raised their defense spending target.
