“First of all, it should be noted that all the theses expressed are absolutely predictable and obvious,” Podolyak said.

According to him, "such rhetoric does not differ at all from what we have heard many times before."

“If we seriously talk about the Ukrainian society and Western countries, then it is clear that the argument about the flight time of missiles cannot be perceived at all,” he added.

Earlier, Putin said that the flight time of NATO missiles to Moscow in the event of Ukraine joining the alliance would be reduced from 15 to 7-10 minutes.

Sergei Tsekov, a member of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs, in an interview with RT, commented on the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the possible deployment of NATO missiles in Ukraine.
