MOSCOW. May 20 (Interfax-AVN) - The guarantee that the U.S. missile defense system does not target Russia must be backed up by a legal document, the Russian Army General Staff has said.
"We can only talk about cooperation in the event of the security guarantees being provided by the U.S. A simple statement is not enough for us. We need an official legal agreement," Lt. Gen. Andrei Tretyak, head of the Army General Staff Main Operations Directorate, told a conference in Moscow on Friday.
