MOSCOW (AFP) - The United States has failed to give Russia written proposals intended to ease concerns about Washington's missile defence plans, Russian news agencies quoted the foreign ministry as saying Wednesday.

"Despite the promises we received yesterday, written proposals from the American side on missile defence have not yet been presented to us," foreign ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said, referring to discussions with US officials Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates.

Defence Secretary Gates and Secretary of State Rice wrapped up talks with Russian officials in Moscow Tuesday saying they would put down in writing by the end of the day proposals aimed at easing Russian concerns about the controversial missile defence plans.

Interfax reported that Rice had flown out of Moscow on Wednesday morning, while Gates was also expected to leave.
