Germany says U.S. should have included Russia in talks about Eastern Europe missile defense
Germany's foreign minister said the United States should have included Moscow in discussions of a proposed missile defense project in Poland and the Czech Republic, according to comments released Sunday. In an interview for Monday's edition of the German daily Handelsblatt, Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that because the proposed missile defense project is so close to Russia, the U.S. should have been talking with Moscow all along, and encouraged Washington to include Russia in continuing discussions.
"Given that the places (the missile defense bases are to be stationed) are close to Russia, they should have been included in discussions earlier," Steinmeier said in an advance release of the interview.
