Yes. This "agreement" [which is not a *final* agreement but rather just 
an agreed framework for an agreement] was worked out bilaterally between 
the US and Russian sides, and now is to be fiddled with in the Standing 
Consultative Commission of the ABM Treaty, where Ukraine, Byelorus and 
Kazakhstan are also parties.

There is concern among the Star Warriors that the multilateral character 
of the SCC will preclude further adjustments to the Treaty.
