EU cooperative threat reduction activities in Russia
Burkard Schmitt
June 2003
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States, the European Union and others have worked with the successor states of the Soviet Union to account for, secure and dismantle nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, agents, materials and infrastructure, as well as to help former weapons scientists and specialists reintegrate into civilian work. These cooperative threat reduction programmes have been successful, but much unfinished business remains.
