Russia warns may stop defense cooperation with U.S.

PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia warned on Thursday, October 6, it may stop cooperation with the United States on a missile shield in Europe.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry in Moscow condemned Washington for making far-reaching decisions “without collective discussion” and ignoring the opinions of all interested parties.

“If this continues, then the chance created at the NATO-Russia summit in Lisbon to turn anti-missile defense from an area of confrontation to an area of cooperation may be lost,” the statement read, RIA Novosti reported.

Russia made the statement after the United States and Spain agreed on Wednesday to deploy a number of U.S. Navy cruisers in Spain as part of the nascent missile defense scheme.
