Those countries that place nuclear weapons near the borders with Russia are deeply mistaken that this will bring them security. This was stated by the press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, RIA Novosti reports.

Prior to this, a Kremlin official stated that Lithuania would be in the crosshairs of Russia's nuclear weapons if nuclear weapons were deployed on the territory of the republic. Later, the Lithuanian Seimas (parliament) approved the abandonment of the ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of the republic.
