First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said today the deployment will not be necessary if Washington abandons plans for missile-defense facilities in Poland and the Czech Republic.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed the United States share missile-defense structures in Azerbaijan and Russia rather than building its own in Central Europe.
