Moscow : Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Kisliak criticized on Monday the lack of clarity of US officials when it comes to informing about the missile defense system they plan to deploy in Europe.
US Secretary of State Condolezza Rice and Pentagon Chief Robert Gates told us one thing in Moscow and now they are saying something different in Poland and the Czech Republic, said Kisliak.
If the US wants to show that its missile shield does not aim at Russia, we want to what they are suggesting concretely to secure that transparence, stressed Kisliak.
Moscow said it will replace diplomatic methods by military steps in case the Czech Parliament ratifies accords signed by Washington and Prague to install a radar facility in Poland with a capacity to spy the Ural Mountains, in Russia.
The text was signed by Rice and her Czech peer Karen Schwarzemberg.
If the Czech Parliament ratifies the document, giving it a binding legal character, a true MDS emplacement will start in our border, a Russian Foreign Ministry document says.
These elements of the US arsenal may be used to weaken the Kremlin’s nuclear deterrence power, according to Moscow.
