The United Kingdom could sign an agreement with Russia soon after Dec. 20 to help fund the effort to destroy stockpiles of Russian chemical weapons, Russian official Sergey Kiriyenko said this week (see GSN, Nov. 26). 

The United States and other European countries have also stated intentions to help fund the chemical weapons destruction program, ITAR-Tass reported.  Kiriyenko said that next year’s Russian budget for destroying the stockpiles would be twice as large as it is now (ITAR-Tass, Dec. 11).
