Lavrov: Kiev jeopardizing Minsk Agreements

The Minsk Agreements on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine are under the constant threat of disruption due to the actions of the Kiev authorities, Sergey Lavrov, the Foreign Minister of Russia, said at a conference “Security and Stability in the SCO Region ” on June 4 in Moscow, according to an EADaily correspondent.

“Attempts on the part of individual countries to impose their model of world order, to exert various forms of political, economic and information pressure on others and to control, from the outside, domestic political processes in sovereign states, ignoring their national, historical and civilizational features, are dangerous destabilizing factors. Regrettably, the line towards subjugating the destinies of whole nations to unilateral geopolitical schemes has led to a grave domestic crisis in Ukraine. The February 12 Minsk agreements are continuously threatened with failure because the Kiev authorities are trying to evade their commitments to establish direct dialogue with Donbass,” the minister said in his statement.
