Press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov said that the deteriorating situation in Eastern Ukraine caused by the inaction of Kiev.
“The situation with the implementation of the Minsk agreements continues to slip, and slipping is caused, as noted by President Vladimir Putin, the inaction of Kiev,” Peskov said (quoted by TASS). In his words, “plenty of work”.
Peskov also said that deliveries to Ukraine American weapons, which will soon exclude special envoy of the US state Department on Ukraine Kurt Volker, will only aggravate the situation in the Donbass.
“We have repeatedly said that any action that will provoke tensions on the dividing lines and in General to provoke the situation, already difficult, will only alienate us from the moment of resolution of this domestic issue,” – said Peskov.
On Monday, the leaders of Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine held a telephone conversation in which they discussed implementation of the Minsk agreements. The parties agreed to continue further contacts at the highest level.
