Russian officials continue to oppose changes to ABM treaty

Article Abstract:

There is strong public and private opposition from Russian political and military officials over US attempts to renegotiate the ABM Treaty to enable deployment of a limited national missile defense (NMD) system. US officials have emphasized that the proposed NMD system is not designed to jeopardize Russian strategic systems. There are indications however that Russia is already seeking ways to increase its strategic capabilities to compensate for a US NMD system.
