Russia responded to recent US warnings about preparing for war with a statement that highlights its own military strengthening efforts. Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Moscow is dedicated to supporting peace while enhancing its defenses.
The response comes after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth urged American forces to get ready for conflict, which Moscow described as a sign of mutual distrust. Russia’s officials stressed that they seek dialogue and diplomacy rather than escalation.
The calm tone of Russia’s reply signals their view that both nations are preparing for potential conflict but want to avoid war through diplomatic means.
