RUSSIA warned yesterday time was running out to seal a missile defense deal with NATO after the two failed again to bridge differences on a project the alliance says is aimed at countering threats from states like Iran.
"We do not agree yet," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said after talks in Brussels between NATO foreign ministers and their Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov.
Lavrov reiterated a demand for guarantees that the system did not target Russia given Moscow's concerns about the stationing of the shield's military infrastructure near Russian territory. "We believe we still have some time to reach a mutually beneficial solution. We still have some time, but time is running out every day," he said.
