RIA Novosti - Russia - Putin warns U.S. against rushing missile deals with Europe
Russia's president said he hoped the U.S. would not rush to finalize missile defense agreements with Europe until talks with Russia were over.
Russian and U.S. foreign and defense ministers are to meet on Friday to discuss U.S. plans to deploy elements of its missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic to counter possible threats from "rogue states" such as Iran or North Korea. "In the course of these complicated talks we are counting on you not to rush to fulfill your previous agreements with Central European states," Vladimir Putin said to Russian and U.S. ministers ahead of consultations.
