BBC News - Russia 'could opt out of nuclear disarmament deal'

BBC News - Russia 'could opt out of nuclear disarmament deal': "Russia's foreign minister has said his country could opt out of a new nuclear disarmament treaty if it feels threatened by US missile defence plans.

But Sergey Lavrov said current, short-term US plans, which could include ground-based interceptor missiles in Romania, seemed acceptable to Russia.

Russia and the US are due to sign a deal to reduce their nuclear stockpiles in Prague on Thursday.

Mr Lavrov said the treaty marked a 'new level of trust' between the two states."
