Russia welcomes U.S. President Barack Obama's decision to review policy in Afghanistan and is ready to cooperate, including on supply routes for NATO forces, Reuters quoted Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev as saying today. "Let us hope the new U.S. administration will be more successful in the Afghan settlement than its predecessor," Medvedev told a news conference after talks with Uzbek President Islam Karimov. "We are ready for fully fledged and equal cooperation on security in Afghanistan, including with the United States," The Russian president added. "We are ready to work on the most complicated issues...including the transit of non-military goods." Cooperation on Afghanistan has been the most successful project uniting NATO and Russia, whose relations froze after Moscow's brief war in Georgia last August.
