SARATOV, December 24 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian-Ukrainian natural gas dispute should not be linked with the use of heavy missiles, the commander of the Russian Strategic Missile Troops said Saturday.

"I would not like to link the terms of heavy missiles' use with the [natural] gas dispute, given that Russia and Ukraine should sign an intergovernmental agreement [on gas] in the near future," Colonel-General Nikolai Solovtsov said.

"We hope to continue our cooperation with Ukraine that has been producing unique weapons [including spare parts for RS-20 Voyevoda missiles] for years," he said.
