Here's an update from our news desk:
A Kremlin spokesman has declined to comment on reports that the United States is planning to store heavy arms in Eastern Europe.
Dmitry Peskov said on June 15 that Moscow would do so only in response to an official U.S. statement.
Citing U.S. and allied officials, The New York Times reported on June 13 that Washington planned to store heavy military equipment in several Baltic and Eastern European countries to reassure allies made uneasy by Russia's action in Ukraine and to deter aggression.
Poland and Lithuania confirmed they were in talks with Washington on stationing heavy arms in warehouses in the region.
Peskov said: "There were no statements from the United States to that end [on the plans] so I have no comment for now."
