Russia in Ukraine Missile Threat

Viktor Yushchenko


"Russia has said it may target its missiles at Ukraine if its neighbour joins Nato and accepts the deployment of the US missile defence shield.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made the comments in Moscow alongside Ukraine's President, Viktor Yushchenko.

Mr Putin has condemned US plans to include Poland and the Czech Republic in its missile defence shield.

The leaders had been meeting in urgent talks over a gas dispute and announced a deal to avoid disrupting supplies."




The rest of the article discusses the other issues Russia is involved in. The countries in Europe are worried that since Russia has agreed to freeze gas prices while Ukraine pays back Gazprom, the prices of gas in Europe will fluctuate. Russia is responding to Ukraine’s attempt to join NATO by developing more high-tech weapons.
