Russia does not rule out new deployments of nuclear missiles in response to the planned U.S. stationing of long-range conventional weapons in Germany, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted as saying on Thursday.

"I am not ruling out any options," the agency said he told reporters in Moscow when asked to comment on the U.S. deployment plans.
