Both sides had agreed to build special facilities for disposing of the surplus plutonium... "We fulfilled our duties, we built that enterprise. But our American partners did not," Mr Putin said... In a decree, President Vladimir Putin accused the US of creating "a threat to strategic stability, as a result of unfriendly actions" towards Russia... Moscow also set pre-conditions for the US for the deal to be resumed including: reduction of US military infrastructure and troops in countries that joined Nato after 1 September 2000lifting of all US sanctions against Russia and compensation for the damage they have caused
