Russian and NATO ambassadors will approve “a roadmap” on missile defence cooperation at the Russia-NATO Council meeting on December 8, Russian permanent representative to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said on Thursday.

“At present, Russian and NATO experts are working on prospects for missile defence cooperation. The ambassadorial Russia-NATO Council meeting will be held in Brussels on December 8 where we should approve a roadmap,” Rogozin said.

“Russian-NATO missile defence cooperation will depend on what how we are able to agree on missile defence,” the Russian permanent representative to NATO stressed.

European missile defence is possible with Russia’s participation. On the contrary, the system may be aimed against it. “There is no other alternative,” Rogozin said.
