Russia will have to increase its entire missile arsenal to deter the West as Moscow is now in an open confrontation with the United States and its allies, a Russian diplomat was quoted as saying on Monday.
President Vladimir Putin's 2022 invasion of Ukraine touched off the worst breakdown in relations between Russia and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, according to Russian and U.S. diplomats.
Russia has ramped up weapons production and is now forecast by the United States to manufacture this year more artillery than all of NATO's 32 members combined.
"We are now at the stage of open confrontation, which, I hope, will not result in a direct armed conflict," Russian Ambassador-at-Large Grigory Mashkov told the state RIA news agency.
Accordingly, Mashkov said, it will be necessary to take "further steps to strengthen the country's defense capability, including building up the missile arsenal, in order to discourage any potential enemy from testing Russia's strength."

Two years ago the Russians ran out of all ammunition and were left to fight by beating people over the head with shovels.
It’s true, the press said so.
Mother Russia stronk like bull!
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!
(((PING!)))
Join and laugh at the humor Zeepers provide!!
Why, According to the DNC’s Jefferies, the US has to send US Troops to Ukraine.
Russia has put its southern district nuclear forces into an immediate active posture along with naval forces. Russia is now preparing for a global war with NATO.
China has met with France and is seeking to find a solution to de-escalation.
Me thinks that Russia and China are using a two pronged approach to the NATO plan’s to deploy 100,000 troops from all member nations into Ukraine.
Blackrock is pleased;)
Only nine eight seven days till Ukraine Democracy Day*!
Mark your calendars! For the Azov guys in Kharkov - prepare your personal parade generators!
*The period of the martial law regime in The Ukraine has been extended until 13 May 2024, but it can be further extended unlimited times.
Oh, shut up, Rueters.
Would you be so blatantly pro-WEF if the first bomb hit your families?
Seven French Foreign Legion troops were killed in Chas-a-yar(sp) overnight, over a dozen wounded, and the French unit withdrew. Russia also fired a missile into the French Foreign Legion contingent in one location.
Again, the leader of the democrat, Con. Jefferies has stated that the US will have to send US Troops in order to ensure that Ukraine does not fail.
This is the final chapter of the crisis in Ukraine. It is time to partician up Ukraine. The West wants to save the Wester half east of Kiev.
Moscow stated several months ago that they had no problem with Poland reclaiming its former territories in Ukraine. This stated by Putin.
By this summer this war will be over. NATO is going to deploy troops to Western Ukraine, and as long as they stay in the west they will avoid full scale war - if they go east it will become full scale war.
Macron is now whinning about the fact that Russia may deploy nuclear weapons in Ukraine against NATO in the future - that’s ironic given that the plans from Biden to put missiles in Ukraine was the final straw in 2022.
Odessa will go to Russia.
Biden and NATO did a great job turning Russia’s military into a much more powerful force. They are churning out soldiers and weapons at levels not seen in decades.
“””””According to the DNC’s Jefferies, the US has to send US Troops to Ukraine.”””””
Look at the interview and the transcript, he didn’t say that.
If you watch the interview and read the transcript he is saying what has been said many times, continue with our NATO aid to Ukraine or after Ukraine, Russia will threaten NATO countries and our men and women will have to fight them, (in NATO countries).
“”””Seven French Foreign Legion troops were killed in Chas-a-yar(sp) overnight, over a dozen wounded, and the French unit withdrew. Russia also fired a missile into the French Foreign Legion contingent in one location.””””
That is major world news, do you have a good source to link?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
So when can we celebrate the Russia expending its last missile. We should declare a national holiday for this great and glorious day that Zeepers have been predicting will happen any day now… for two years.
“Russia will have to increase its entire missile arsenal to deter the West as Moscow is now in an open confrontation with the United States and its allies, a Russian diplomat was quoted as saying on Monday.”
I wonder if this Russian diplomat will be thrown out a window for making the tacit admission that Russia’s nuclear and missile arsenals are in reality not so fearsome as they are on a spreadsheet.
“Biden and NATO did a great job turning Russia’s military into a much more powerful force. They are churning out soldiers and weapons at levels not seen in decades.”
Yup. Ruzzia is making THOUSANDS of Su-57 fighters and THOUSANDS of T-14 tanks! And with their MILLIONS of highly trained Ruzzian troops they’ll be on the Normandy coast by this time on Friday!
Or make the Russians explain why they send the Frogs back to France without their legs.
However it does provide entertainment from the Joke that is France under Macron.
The leader of the democats in Congress is saying to save Ukraine US troops must be sent.
Didn’t you read post 10?
He didn’t say that.
Hia point is Russia had a military of only 380k men worldwide in 2022. They are training over 300k every July and January... This July will top 1m new troops. In fact they may be at 1.2m in July.
For the second 7 day period Russia announced they killed over 8k Ukrainians each week.
