Russian Envoy To NATO Demands Proof Of Europe Missile Shield Safety
By PanARMENIAN
Russian envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin urged the U.S. to produce documentary proof that NATO missile shield is not directed against Russia.
The Kremlin says the U.S. expanding anti-missile system in Europe is a potential threat to the Russian nuclear arsenal, while Washington is trying to convince Moscow that the system poses no threat to Russia, that it is needed to protect against attack from “rogue states” such as Iran.
“We believe Washington has to produce relevant tactical and technical specifications, allow the use of telemetric equipment during tests and stipulate the data observed in a legally binding document. Only then will we believe in Washington’s statements,” RIA Novosti quoted Rogozin as saying.
