RUSSIA: A day after U.S. National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice announced the United States and Russia were moving closer to agreement on reducing their storehouses of nuclear weapons, but indicated that the agreement was unlikely to take the form of a formal treaty, Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov seconded Rice's comments at a news conference in Moscow. "The question of the signing of a broad agreement on strategic stability isn't on the agenda," said Ivanov, referring to the scheduled talks between President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin later this month at Bush's Texas ranch. Although Russia has staunchly opposed the U.S. missile defense plan and Washington has maintained that the controversial tests forbidden by the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty would go ahead, the events of Sept. 11 have prompted a warming of ties between the former Cold War foes. Moscow has been a staunch supporter of Washington's campaign against terrorism, and Putin is widely believed to want the Chechen issue included in the international coalition's definition of terrorist activities in return for Russia's support.
