"Of course, this is one of the options that has also been discussed many times," Ryabkov said, highlighting Russia's consideration of missile deployment in response to US actions in Asia.
"The appearance of corresponding American systems in any region of the world will predetermine our further steps, including in the sphere of organizing our military-technical response," Ryabkov noted.
Ryabkov's remarks signal a potential for Russia to step into a region that's primarily been a hotbed for tensions between Washington and Beijing, indicating escalating geopolitical complexities.
As tensions grow, Japan and the US are reportedly drafting Taiwan contingency plans, which would involve the stationing of US missile units close to Taiwan.
