Date: 2007-04-26 (Thursday)
President Vladimir Putin froze Russia's commitments under the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) arms control pact

"It makes no sense for Russia to observe the pact when NATO signatories are ignoring it.
"(NATO countries) are ... building up military bases on our borders and, what's more, they are also planning to station elements of anti-missile defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic."
"In this connection, I consider it expedient to declare a moratorium on Russia's implementation of this treaty -- in any case, until all countries of the world have ratified and started to strictly implement it."
-- Vladimir Putin, Russian President, in final state-of-nation address
