its national security due to deployment of the NATO anti-missile shield
in Europe, Russian President Vladimir Putin said after the alliance

The US missile shield in Europe is a clear violation of
Russian-American arms treaties, Putin said at a meeting with Russian

easily re-purposed for firing short and mid-range missiles.
The US
anti-missile shield in Europe is yet another step in increasing
international tensions and launching a new arms race, he stressed.
