U.S.-Russia arms deal ratification may face problems – paper | Top Russian news and analysis online | ‘RIA Novosti’ newswire: “The new Russian-U.S. arms reduction pact, to be signed on April 8 in Prague, will face problems on its way to ratification, Russian daily Kommersant said on Monday.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and U.S. President Barack Obama will sign the pact on Thursday in Prague to replace the START 1 treaty, which expired on December 5. The new treaty is broadly viewed as an important part of efforts by Medvedev and Obama to ‘reset’ thorny relations between the two countries.”
