Big breakthroughs between Washington and Moscow will have to wait until after the November US elections, with the two sides meanwhile doing "homework" on issues such as missile defence, a top US official said Friday.
"This is an important 'homework' period in the US-Russia relationship," Acting Undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security Rose Gottemoeller told reporters and students at a Moscow university.
"Now we have to think about the future," said the veteran Russia expert. "How are we going to cooperate on missile defences?"
