Russian Foreign Ministry: the development of US missile defense provokes an arms race
Direct translation of the article[REGNUM] The desire of the United States of America to develop a global missile defense system has led to serious security implications and triggered an arms race, including missiles. This was announced today, on May 3, in an interview with RIA Novosti by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. According to Zakharova, Russia has repeatedly drawn the attention of the United States to the fact that the unrestricted development of the United States' global missile defense system is very dangerous. However, the American side does not accept the Russian arguments in any way. “At the same time, they reject the possibility of introducing any restrictions on their anti-missile activities and are deliberately increasing it, attracting more and more financial resources,” Zakharova said. The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry drew attention to the reports of the American media that the United States intends to allocate $ 18 billion for the project of creating and deploying promising missile interceptors that would replace strategic silo interceptor missiles. Zakharova stressed that the building up of the American global missile defense potential leads to serious consequences in the field of security, as well as upsets the strategic balance of forces in the world and provokes an arms race, including missile ones.
