Washington, however, refuses to provide the guarantees, saying the shield is directed against threats from Iran and North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, there has been no progress [in missile defense talks],\u201d Antonov said. \u201cIt is a pity that the situation is not changing as our colleagues from the United States and NATO are still not ready to understand Russia\u2019s concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #f00;\">Error, group does not exist!
