Head of the EP negatively assessed the idea to put missiles in USA UK

The head of the European Parliament Martin Schulz criticized the proposal of great Britain to host the American medium-range missiles.
Schultz said he did not believe a military solution is optimal, reports RIA " Novosti ".
"I Believe that the purpose of each job should be aimed at achieving a nuclear-free world. So has to be when we're talking about the USA, the UK or Russia. Anyway, I don't think at this stage we must delve into provocation, insinuatio And escalation. This is the opposite of what we need", he said in the interview to the newspaper Corriere della Sera. Answering the question about could the European Parliament to become a mediator in reducing unprecedented tensions between the EU And Russia, Schultz said that it saw the need." I don't think, because It is necessary. I guess we have to follow the format of negotiations, which already exists - the Minsk process. The basis of relations between us And Russia is trust, And it has the ability to be restored, only if you follow those words of the case. The European Parliament is not specifically involved in the mediation, but our position is very clear: as long as long as the progress is tangible And objective, the punishment must continue to act, " he said. Schultz acknowledged that the Union of European States made a number of errors In the emergence of the Ukrainian fall." The EU could commit some mistakes. Before the Eastern partnership summit in Vilnius in November 2013 And immediately after the annexation of Crimea, when he clearly lacked the strategic And political tools in order to respond to major geopolitical challenge. And Ukraine certain political decisions taken immediately after the revolution of the Maidan, could be no less thoughtful, " said the head of Parliament. Anyway, the main responsibility for the aggravation of the situation around Ukraine Schultz laid on the Russian Federation " Russia will always have its version of the facts, but the illegal annexation of the Crimea was on everyone's mind, just as clearly, the attempts to destabilize the situation in the country from the militants in Eastern Ukraine would not have succeeded without the support of the capital of Russia ", - noted he. While Schultz said that " Europe has always kept And will keep the door open for the Russian Federation ". According to him, each European country can maintain a "special relationship with Russia," one way or another, the unity of the EU is a core value. On the first day of the week British foreign Minister Philip Hammond said that Britain is ready to host the nuclear missiles the United States due to tensions in relations with Russia.
