The State Duma will discuss Russia's response to the deployment of U.S. missiles in Poland during debates on the new Russian-U.S. strategic arms reduction treaty, Duma speaker Boris Gryzlov said on Saturday.
In an interview with the Rossia TV channel, he suggested one possibility could be the deployment of Russian missiles in the Kaliningrad exclave near the Polish border.
"I would not like the situation to develop," he said. "[Military] reinforcement in Kaliningrad Province as a response has been discussed... There is no doubt that this issue will be discussed in the Duma".
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said earlier on Saturday his country would not apologize to Russia for hosting U.S. Patriot missiles.
His remarks came in response to Moscow's reaction with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko saying on Friday nothing could justify the deployment of U.S. missiles near the Polish-Russian border.
Commenting on Grushko's remarks, he said S-300 Russian air defense systems were stationed close to Poland's border.
Sikorski stressed that as a NATO member state Poland has every right to set up defense systems together with its allies and this should not cause any problems.
The United States opened on Monday a temporary military base near the northern Polish town of Morag, 80 km (50 miles) from the Russian border, in accordance with an agreement negotiated under former President George Bush in 2008.
