Ruskies Decry Anti-Missle Shield On Poland Soil
Russia hit out on Tuesday at U.S. plans to deploy an anti-missile shield on Polish soil, saying the move was an attempt to destabilize the balance of power. Washington is investing billions of dollars to develop a missile defense system which would use rockets to shoot down hostile missiles. It is considering placing its biggest anti-missile site outside the United States and is talking to Poland and the Czech Republic about possible locations. "We see this as an element of destabilizing the situation, an attempt - and no more than that - to change somewhat the strategic balance," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov told a news conference. Russia's Foreign Ministry has already said Moscow would take unspecified measures against Poland if it decides to host the anti-missile shield. Posted by: Captain America 2006-10-10 |
