U.S. Missile Defense Blasted

The Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that the United States was ignoring its concerns about U.S. plans to build a missile shield with elements near Russia’s borders.

While U.S. President Barack Obama pleased Moscow last year by scrapping the previous U.S. administration’s missile defense plans, Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said Russia has similar worries about the revised U.S. approach.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Poland on Saturday and witnessed the signing of a pact allowing the deployment of U.S. missile interceptors there.
