Putin has threatened to destroy Patriot systems if the US is sent to Ukraine

The anti -aircraft missile complexes, according to the Kremlin Speaker Peskov, will become a "legitimate goal" for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Russia will destroy the advanced Patriot missile defense systems that the United States can put in Ukraine. This was stated during a briefing by Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

In particular, journalists asked him to comment on media information that the US and Ukraine are in the final stage of developing a strategy for sending Patriot systems to Kiev. According to Peskov, the information distributed by foreign media is an "unreliable thing. " In this context, Vladimir Putin's spokesman called for official confirmation to send Patriot systems to Ukraine.

At the same time, Dmitry Peskov threatened that advanced anti -missile defense systems would be a "legitimate goal" for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and will be destroyed. It should be noted that such threats were voiced by Russia's expansion Dmitry Medvedev. The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council argued that Russian troops would destroy not only Patriot systems, but also staff from NATO countries that serve advanced complexes.

"If, as Stoltenberg has hinted, NATO will put Patriot complexes with the NATO staff of Kiev, they will immediately become a legitimate goal of our armed forces. I hope that Atlantic impotent understands it," Medvedev threatened earlier in response to the possible departure of Patriot systems. It should be noted that on December 13 in the Western media there was information about the possible departure of Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine.
