Chance slim to sign Russia-U.S. missile defense document - Russian military

MOSCOW. March 13 (INtefax-AVN) - The chance that Russian and U.S. leaders will sign a joint document on missile defense at a summit in May is slim, said Russian Deputy Defense Minster Anatoly Antonov.

"I think it will be hard to achieve a result [on missile defense] at the summit. No document exists today that would be approved by the Russian and U.S. leaders," Antonov told the press on Tuesday.

"I think more time will be needed [to get the document on missile defense signed] than the time available before the summit," he said.
