The disagreements still remain, but I agree, in general, with President Obama that what we must and certainly can must and certainly can do in this area is make all our actions more open and transparent.

Objectives
Provide verifiable political and technical
guarantees that BMD:
• Does not threaten strategic stability• Does not threaten strategic stability
• Deployments correspond to stated
threat
![Page 17: Ms Ivanka Barashka - Re‐examining NATO‐Russia Relations: The Role of Verifiable Missile Defence Transparency](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a70e541a28ab0b628b461d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Key Elements
• Reciprocal exchanges of information on
missile defense capability
• Verification measures: NTM and
inspections
• Verification measures: NTM and
inspections
• No limits to capability

Verification
• BMD verification not comprehensively
explored
• Past proposals for BMD confidence-
building measures
• Past proposals for BMD confidence-
building measures
• Experience with nuclear and
conventional arms control
![Page 20: Ms Ivanka Barashka - Re‐examining NATO‐Russia Relations: The Role of Verifiable Missile Defence Transparency](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a70e541a28ab0b628b461d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Reciprocity
• Same data sharing and verification
requirements
• Asymmetry in BMD deployments• Asymmetry in BMD deployments

Offense-Defense
• Russian military developments
• Possible changes to deterrence postures
• Link BMD transparency to INF • Link BMD transparency to INF
compliance and non-deployment of
new nuclear-capable missiles in Europe
• Transparency should not jeapordize
BMD capability

• Focus away from operational
coordination and toward a verifiable
transparency regime
