Moscow expects an explanation on the deployment of U.S. Patriot missiles near the Polish-Russian border, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday.
"We have, so far, been told only one thing: do not worry, this is not aimed against you," Lavrov told journalists in Moscow.
"We have already heard it in the past and we consider that the new nature of relations with Washington and Warsaw allows us to expect more detailed explanations on what is happening," he added.
The statement came after the U.S. opened a temporary military base near the northern Polish town of Morag, 80 km (50 miles) from the Russian border under the Supplemental Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) signed in December 2009.
