World Briefing | Europe: Russia: Threat to Put Missiles in Europe
[NYT - Europe
] - 5. Luglio 2007 - 4:02Sergei B. Ivanov, the first deputy prime minister and a leading contender to succeed President Vladimir V. Putin, warned that if the United States pushed ahead with plans to unilaterally deploy an American missile shield based in the Czech Republic and Poland instead of a shared system in Azerbaijan, on the Caspian Sea, Russia might respond by moving missiles to its western enclave of Kaliningrad, nestled between Lithuania and Poland on the Baltic Sea. His televised comments came just three days after Mr. Putin and President Bush met in Maine, and Mr. Putin again suggested a strategic defense partnership. “If our proposals are accepted, then Russia will no longer have the necessity to deploy new missile weapons in the north of the country, including in the Kaliningrad region, in order to parry threats,” Mr. Ivanov said.
