Baku – APA. Russia has scrapped a plan to deploy U.S. missiles in a region near Poland after President Barack Obama dumped the Bush-era plan for a missile defense in Eastern Europe, a Russian deputy defense minister Vladimir Popovkin said Saturday, the Associated Press reports.
Vladimir Popovkin told Ekho Moskvy radio that Obama’s move has made the deployment of Iskander short-range missiles in the Kaliningrad region unnecessary.
"Reason has prevailed over ambitions," Popovkin said. "Naturally, we will cancel countermeasures which Russia has planned in response, such as the (planned) deployment of Iskander missiles in the Kaliningrad region."
