PARIS, May 31 (Itar-Tass) —— Russia needs “military-technological guarantees” the European missile defense will not be directed against its national security, “enshrined in legally binding documents,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said, when asked by Itar-Tass about Russia’s attitude to the missile defense issue.

In the meantime, as Putin told a joint news conference following talks with French President Francois Hollande, the Western partners “continue to make unilateral decisions.”
