Russia criticizes new US missile defence plans
None
Russia said on Tuesday the United States is ignoring its concerns about US plans to build a missile shield with elements near Russia's borders. While President Barack Obama pleased Moscow last year by scrapping the previous U.S. administration's missile defence plans, Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said Russia has similar worries about the revised US approach.
In a statement, Nesterenko said "it is already clear" that the new blueprint "in essence posits the deployment in Europe of a missile defence architecture without taking into account Russia's justified interests and concerns". (Reuters)
