MOSCOW, September 28. /TASS/. Russia does not trust Japan’s promises about removing US missile systems after the joint military drills are over and warns that such actions will not go unanswered, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said.

"The Japanese authorities promised us that they [the missiles] will supposedly be removed after the military exercises are over," Rudenko said in an interview with Russia’s Izvestia daily.

"Unfortunately, we have little trust in the current authorities. This is why we have warned that such things will not go unanswered," the Russian diplomat added.

According to earlier reports, the US forces were set to deploy on Kyushu, which is one of Japan’s four main islands, located in the country’s southwest, its US Typhon ground-based systems designed to launch intermediate-and shorter-range missiles for military exercises in June-September. Along with the Typhon systems, HIMARS multiple rocket launchers were also reported to be deployed during the maneuvers.

Russia voiced demands that the Typhon systems be withdrawn from the territory of Japan. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that drills involving the deployment of Typhons threaten Russia’s interests and security in the region.
