RadioFreeEurope RadioLiberty: Russia/U.S.: Pentagon Chief To Visit Moscow For Missile Talks - U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates faces delicate talks with his Russian counterpart, Anatoly Serdyukov, when he travels to Moscow on April 23.
Excerpt:
"Gates will attempt to allay Russia's opposition to U.S. plans to deploy elements of a missile-defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.
Washington insists that the shield aims at countering missile attacks from "rogue" states. But Moscow says the system threatens Russia and has warned of possible retaliation.
The Pentagon chief may also be asked to clarify his recent remarks identifying Russia as a potential threat, together with China, Iran, and North Korea."
