MOSCOW CRITICIZES U.S. AGAIN ON NMD. On the 40th anniversary of the Soviet Union's successful anti-missile test on 4 March 1961, Russian officials criticized the U.S. for thinking that it could set up a national missile defense (NMD) system beyond the capacity of Russia to counter, Reuters reported. Meanwhile, on 2 March, the Russian Foreign Ministry called on the U.S. to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CNTBT) that both Moscow and Washington have observed since 1996 but which the U.S. has not ratified, ITAR-TASS reported.
