A fresh set of talks began Thursday, between Russia and NATO, but already Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said the talks were "close to a dead end".
Moscow believes that any kind of missile interceptor system would be a threat to their own security.
The US and her allies state that the system would primarily be to defend against Iranian and North Korean threats.
Ever since 2000, when President George W. Bush proposed a missile defense system in Europe, Russia and the US have argued over it. In 2008, President Obama scrapped the plan.
However, in 2010, Poland and the US signed an agreement to house a missile defense base at Poland's Redzikowo airstrip.
