U.S. proposals aimed at easing Russian concerns over a planned missile defense shield fall short of Moscow's expectations, local media quoted a Russian Foreign Ministry source as saying on Friday.

"Our hopes have not been borne out. This is not what we were promised," Itar-Tass news agency quoted the Foreign Ministry source as saying.

The United States submitted a package of documents to Russia this week setting out compromise proposals on the shield. These were first raised when U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates visited Moscow in October.

"The United States has passed to us its specific proposals on missile defense," the agency quoted the source as saying.

"Our first look at them has shown that over the six weeks during which the American side promised to prepare written proposals, the U.S. position has not changed."
