U.S. Missile Defense Proposals Aren’t Constructive, Army General Said
There is nothing constructive in the U.S. written proposals on missile defense, said Chief of Russian General Staff, Army General Yury Baluevsky.
“The dog is barking but caravan is moving. It appears we haven’t been understood in the end. What definite proposals are you talking about if we have got from the U.S. written proposals on missile defense that the United States was arranging, is arranging and will be arranging a positional missile defense area in Europe, while Russia is taken as a free supplement to it,” the general was emphatic.
Baluevsky didn’t elaborate about the exact content of the U.S. proposals but said there was nothing new in them.
The U.S. proposals on missile defense narrowed the chance for compromising, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced earlier. Lavrov said they proceeded with studying the proposals but the rollback from verbal agreements that had been reached in Moscow in October was material.
