What, precisely, are these sited (that is, non-mobile, fixed installation; that's what "sites" means) ABM weapons that NATO has allegedly installed in Eastern Europe? What is the name of the weapons system, who builds it, etc.?

I suggest asking Niccolo Soldo what he means. I am not his grammarian or military advisor. The primary source supporting this statement would be statements attributable to the Kremlin. I am a fact checker either. All of this would be thread hijacking if I went for it. So maybe discuss a theme of the author and stop nitpicking

“All of this would be thread hijacking if I went for it.”

Asking for elaboration of claims made in an article that YOU posted is not “thread hijacking”.

If the author is making factual claims that are false, there is no point in discussing his "themes".

"Statements attributable to the Kremlin" are worthless if they can't be backed up by facts demonstrable from other sources.

So I did some research. They’re referring to the Aegis Ashore systems, one deployed and active in Rumania and one under construction in Poland. Their purpose is to defend Western Europe against missiles from Iran or another mideastern rogue state. A Russian attack would easily overwhelm them, so they would not have any utility in enabling a NATO first strike.
