Russia warns U.S.

NEW YORK, JUNE 19. The Russian President, Mr. Vladimir Putin, has said Moscow would upgrade its strategic nuclear arsenal with multiple warheads if the U.S. went ahead with its planned nuclear missile shield, sparking a nuclear arms race, New York Times said today.

Responding to the comments made by the U.S. National Security Advisor, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, that the U.S. would proceed with missile defence with or without Russia, Mr. Putin said, ``we offer our cooperation. We offer to work jointly. If there is no need that such joint work is needed, well, suit yourself.'' - PTI
