Take the military option off the table - we have already seen it doesn't work.

If I correctly understand the goal of American policy, one wishes Russia to be a partner.

Any debate among politicians about monetary policy is counterproductive.

This is one of the gravest crises Europe has ever experienced... An agreement failed because of the completely stubborn attitudes of the UK and the Netherlands.

My impression is that American policy speaks not of antagonism but rather partnership.

It makes more sense to find out where the middle- and long-term common ground lies.

We made a decision that monetary policy will be made by an independent European Central Bank.
