Russia and the U.S. remain at odds over U.S. plans for an anti-missile shield in Europe following talks in Moscow last week with President Barack Obama's national security adviser, a senior Kremlin aide said.
White House national security adviser Tom Donilon met President Vladimir Putin and senior Russian officials in the highest-level face-to-face talks since Obama began a new term in January.
Putin's foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said Friday that U.S. proposals he said were laid out in a message delivered by Donilon contained little that was new and "did not make us very happy," RIA-Novosti reported.
He did not describe the proposals but said Russia would examine them further.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
