MOSCOW, (UPI) -- Russia's deputy prime minister Sunday urged the United States to scrap its plans for a European missile shield and join a global program instead.
Sergei Ivanov told RIA Novosti a global missile defense system could be operational by 2020.
'We are proposing to create a single missile defense system for all participants with equal access to the system's control,' Ivanov said.
The Russian defense plan would include the United States and Europe with defense information exchange centers in Moscow and Brussels.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been a vocal opponent of U.S. plans to put missile shields in Poland and the Czech Republic and has offered to share its early warning system in Azerbaijan.
'In addition, Russia is ready in the future to offer its new radar being built in the Krasnodar Territory (in southern Russia) for a joint data system,' Ivanov said.
