MOSCOW, February 19th, 2004 (RIA Novosti correspondent) - Russia is not coming out against anti-ballistic missile (ABM) systems if they do not threaten national security, First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Yuri Baluyevsky said Thursday.
"We are working in this direction and co-operating with other countries," he said at a press conference. The goal of our co-operation is to create ABM systems providing defence for our facilities from single launches of missiles that might be in the terrorists' disposal.
