PanARMENIAN.Net – Russia warned on Thursday, October 6, it may stop
cooperation with the United States on a missile shield in Europe.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry in Moscow condemned Washington
for making far-reaching decisions “without collective discussion”
and ignoring the opinions of all interested parties.

“If this continues, then the chance created at the NATO-Russia summit
in Lisbon to turn anti-missile defense from an area of confrontation
to an area of cooperation may be lost,” the statement read, RIA
Novosti reported.

Russia made the statement after the United States and Spain agreed
on Wednesday to deploy a number of U.S. Navy cruisers in Spain as
part of the nascent missile defense scheme.
