  • Russia on August 15 expressed its displeasure over US plans to place a new missile system in Eastern Europe. It warned that these weapons, directed at Moscow, would be a fair military target to strike. Speaking at a news conference in southern Russia, President Dmitry Medvedev stated that, despite Washington's denials, the United States had Russia in mind in basing elements of the system in Poland and the Czech Republic. His comments came a day after Poland announced that it had reached an accord with the US on plans to install US interceptor missiles on its territory1. The missile deal will have to be approved by the Polish parliament2.
