Russia ready to talk missile defence with US, WASHINGTON
Sunday, November 16, 2008 at 1:11 pm
WASHINGTON: Russia is ready to discuss existing missile defence programs with the United States, President Dmitry Medvedev said on Saturday, signalling an easing in Russia’s outright opposition to US plans.
“We will not do anything until America does the first step,” Medvedev said about Russia’s promised response to U.S. plans to deploy elements of its missile defence system in Eastern Europe.
“I think we have a chance to solve the problem through either agreeing on a global (anti-missile) system or, as a minimum, to find solution on the existing programs which would suit the Russian Federation,” he said.
“(The) first signal we received (from the incoming Barack Obama administration) shows that our partners think about this program rather than plan to simply rubber-stamp it,” Medvedev added.
