Both Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev are young and not associated with the Cold War era, but they grew up during that time, says the director of international services at RIA-Novosti Russian news agency Samir Shakhbaz.
“One of the achievements of the talks was that in the agreement that was signed the issue of missile defence shield in Europe and the START treaty was discussed together. And during the press conference, Barack Obama said that now the issue of offensive arsenals are being discussed together with the defensive ones,” Shakhbaz said.
“It’s a good day, but there’s still a long way to go”"It took eight years for President George W. Bush to mess up US-Russia relations, and it’s going to take more than eight months to get the two talking and working together more closely,” says US analyst John Isaacs. |
