Russia to allow US arms transit to Afghanistan
2009-07-04
Russia will allow the United States to ship weapons across its territory to Afghanistan, a top Kremlin aide said on Friday in a gesture aimed at bolstering US military operations and improving strained ties between Washington and Moscow. The deal is expected to be signed during US President Barack Obama's visit to Moscow next week, Kremlin Foreign Policy Adviser Sergei Prikhodko said. Russia has been allowing the US to ship non-lethal supplies across its territory for operations in Afghanistan and Kremlin officials had suggested further cooperation was likely.

#3  Additional assurances from Barry on the Missile Defense Shield in Poland? The term 'something for nothing' is not in the RU lexicon.
