Russia Continues War of Words with US
Russia Continues War of Words with US
Even if President Vladimir Putin met with his American counterpart George Bush, Kremlin doesn’t hold back on new threats aimed at Poland and the Czech Republic.

Russian first deputy prime minister Sergei Ivanov veiledly threaten Moscow will direct its missiles towards the two Central European countries if a US missile defence system is built there.

“If our proposals are accepted, the need will disappear for Russia to deploy the new weaponry in the European part of the country, including in Kaliningrad, in order to react to the threat,” Ivanov said Wednesday during a visit to Uzbekistan.

Kaliningrad is a Russian enclave located between Lithuania and Poland on the Baltic Sea, occupying a strategic position for an eventual attack.

Kremlin showed in numerous rows it definitely doesn’t agree with Washington’s plans to build a missile shield in Europe, because aside from monitoring the activity of nuclear developed states like Iran or North Korea, it could easily peek at Russia’s military system and activities.

The feud raged on through the G8 summit in Germany, despite attempts from the host country and other states to mediate it.

Then, Putin came up with a compromise solution, offering the United States a possibility to use a radar station in Azerbaijan, but Bush turned down the offer saying the Gabala facility certainly can’t provide counterattack measures.

The two leaders met at Bush’s family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine and this dissension was a main subject, as Putin revealed a “ground-breaking” solution to the problem. 

He said Russia should be more implied in the progress of US’ plan through international bodies like NATO and the European Union, an offer Bush “strongly agreed with” and embraced by Ivanov also.
