MOSCOW INCREASES SPENDING ON DESTRUCTION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS. Deputy Foreign Minister Grigorii Berdennikov said on 14 March that Moscow will spend six times more in 2001 than it did in 2000 on the destruction of chemical weapons, Interfax reported. He said that Russia had not been able to meet its obligations because of economic difficulties but now could not fail to do so, lest it come under intensifying international pressure. PG
