October 31, 2007 (LPAC)--"There is the impression that the United States is trying to make the realization of its plans irreversible," said Russian spokesman Mikhail Kamynin, in regards to Washington's attempts to negotiate with Poland and the Czech Republic for the deployment of 10 missile interceptors, despite Moscow's requests for a freeze on the project.

Agence France Presse on Oct. 31 quotes Kamynin that the U.S. talks with Poland and the Czech Republic "have not only not been suspended, but additional measures are being taken to speed them up."
