Foreign Ministry: Kyiv puts ridiculous requirements

Minister of foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov commented on the conditions of the Ukrainian authorities for removal of heavy weapons in the Donbass. He stressed that Russia does not consider it reasonable, which was agreed, for example, the German side.

The head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov said on positions of the States channel four relatively compliance with the Minsk agreement of the conflicting parties - Kiev and followers of Donetsk and Lugansk national republics. The Ukrainian authorities impose requirements that are not contained in the original agreements. Not to mention the fact that, no reason for them not, and the delay threatens the origin of conflicts.

"Moving laughable by and large requirements that fully support the position of the Kyiv authorities, and they, as you know, announced that it would begin the withdrawal of heavy weapons, only when a day or two will last bezmolvstviya without a single shot being fired. We all perfectly understand that the exemplary truce, exemplary modes stop the fire does not happen" - quoted by RIA Novosti Sergei Lavrov.

Fruitful Moscow's position was supported by Berlin. "When the day before yesterday in Paris met Norman Quartet at the level of Ministers of foreign Affairs, our German employee fully agreed with that until you started the withdrawal of heavy weapons, the risks of conflicts will be infinitely higher, if at a dilution of military equipment", - said the head of the Russian foreign Ministry.

However, the danger of a new aggravation saved, because some political players continue to take actions aimed at disrupting the peace process. "All the exhortations to condemn militias, RF, anyone else for breaking the truce is only aimed at one thing: to prevent the transition of the situation in the political settlement, in the dialogue between Kiev and Eastern Ukraine, equal dialogue, aimed at constitutional reform, with full internationally recognized set of rights for the inhabitants of these regions of Ukraine", - said Sergey Lavrov.

That is the aim of the West's statements about the possibility of the introduction of new sanctions against Russia, the diplomat believes. "I want to escalate again hysterical mood, to divert attention from the necessity of the execution of the Minsk agreements, and these appeals are, in General, is the reluctance of the data consistent with figures from States, organizations (USA, EU) to enforce what came to agreement in Minsk on 12 February," he said.

However, despite all the attempts of some destructive forces to neutralize the efforts of international actors in the peace process in the Donbass, the agreement has already managed to bring accurate results. "Impartial observers, even the OSCE, record a substantial drop in shootings, this truce still gives the result", - concluded the Minister of foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov.
