On March 15, the US government announced the cancellation of the fourth phase of its planned missile defence shield, designed to counter threats to US territory — and, in particular, ballistic missiles from Russia.
The batteries of interceptors established in Romania and Poland to counter missiles from the Middle East, which constitute the second and third phase of the defence system, will remain.
The cancellation of the fourth phase amounts to a “US concession to Russia,” which insisted that this phase “represented a threat to its nuclear capability,” notes the newspaper.
