Duma statement on US missile defense planned in Europe

Members of the Russian State Duma unanimously adopted a statement on Friday cautioning that plans to deploy elements of the U.S. global missile defense system in the Czech Republic and Poland may cause a new split in Europe and provoke another round of an arms race.

Unilateral decisions related to the deployment of such elements in the Czech Republic and the Republic of Poland "are pointless from the point of view of countering potential or imaginary threats from a number of states in the Middle East and the Far East, have already begun provoking a new split in Europe and prompting another round of an arms race," the statement says.
