US Missile Base in Poland ‘Attempt To Contain Russia's Military Potential’ The Kremlin said on Wednesday (November 13) that the opening of a new U.S. missile base in Poland was part of an attempt to contain Russia by moving American military infrastructure closer to its borders.Dubbed "Aegis Ashore," the U.S. base at Redzikowo is part of a broader NATO missile shield which the alliance says is capable of intercepting short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles.Peskov said President Vladimir Putin had objected to plans for the base as far back as the 2000s when George W. Bush was U.S. president. He said Putin had insisted at the time that the U.S. was lying when it said the purpose was to intercept potential Iranian missiles.
