MOSCOW SEEN ADMITTING PROLIFERATION PROBLEMS. An article in "Kommersant-Daily" on 23 February said that President Putin has acknowledged that some Russian agencies are not doing what they need to do to prevent proliferation. The paper suggested that the Security Council meeting on that subject on 22 February represented "an act of atonement" with a promise to do better. Meanwhile, Russian officials on 23 February complained that the United States is applying a double standard against Russia by complaining about Russian exports of nuclear fuel to India and by restricting the export of super-fast, high-end computer technology, Russian agencies reported.
