S Korean Defense Ministry to Consider Alternative Location for US THAAD System
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Moscow stands against the deployment of the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system in South Korea, but looks forward to the diplomatic solution of the issue, media reported Monday.

The Yonhap news agency reported, citing Russian Ambassador to Seoul Alexander Timonin, that despite opposing the THAAD deployment Moscow expected relations with Seoul to enhance in coming years.

In early July, the Russian Foreign Ministry protested the decision on the THAAD deployment in South Korea, claiming that such a step would have a highly negative impact on global strategic stability.
