RFE/RL Security Watch Vol. 1, No. 24, 2 January 2001
DEFENSE MINISTER UNHAPPY WITH BUSH TEAM ON NMD. Defense Minister Sergeev said on 26 December that he is concerned by the impression given by several of U.S. President-elect George W. Bush's foreign policy advisors that NMD deployment is "a purely technical problem," ITAR-TASS reported. If the U.S. backs away from such a deployment, Moscow will be ready to cooperate, Sergeev said. But if it goes ahead, then Moscow will take adequate measures to defense its own national security, the marshal said.
