WASHINGTON (AP) - Poland's top missile defense negotiator said Tuesday that Warsaw could conclude by September an agreement to host U.S. interceptors and accused Russia of trying to sidetrack talks with an alternative proposal.
Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski and his U.S. counterpart on missile defense, Assistant Secretary of State John Rood, said that they had made progress in talks Monday toward an agreement that would allow the U.S. to install 10 interceptors.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Waszczykowski said that the two sides were moving quickly despite a call by Russian President Vladimir Putin to freeze talks while the U.S. considers a proposal he made to relocate the interceptors planned for Poland and a radar to be built in the Czech Republic.
