Rice labels missile threat ‘extremely unfortunate’
Gen Nikolai Solovtsov, head of Russia’s strategic missile forces, said Russia might train its missiles on the two countries if they accept a US proposal to base 10 interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar in the Czech Republic.
‘‘I think that was an extremely unfortunate comment,’’ Rice said at a news conference in Berlin, adding that the system did not threaten Moscow’s forces ‘‘and we have had the opportunity to explain that to Russia’’.
