Russia Demands Defense Safeguards From US
Russia demands defence safeguards from US
Russia's foreign ministry said on Tuesday it would seek defence safeguards from the United States following Romania's decision to host US interceptors for a proposed European missile defence shield.

"In this situation, US legal guarantees on their intention not to deploy a missile defence system aimed at the strategic nuclear forces of Russia is becoming even more relevant," news agencies quoted a ministry statement as saying.
"Moreover, we are convinced ... that we need to immediately begin agreeing a European missile defence conception and architecture, including from the standpoint of its impact on regional and global security," Russia said.
The United States and Romania agreed on Tuesday to place US missiles at a Soviet-built airbase in the south of the Eastern European country – the first to receive interceptors for the proposed pan-European shield.
Moscow fears that the system – which Washington says is aimed at states such as Iran – could one day be transformed into an offensive space-based weapon that could be aimed at western and southern Russia.
