MOSCOW, March 25 (RIA Novosti) - Statements that Russia is threatening the safety of atomic objects in Ukraine is an attempt to "pass the buck" by Ukrainian representatives.
"The situation in Ukraine in regard to the safety of Ukrainian atomic objects could be reflected on the incapacity of the ‘new Kiev government,' but this is not so for Russia. We have already heard calls by the leaders of Maidan to blow up gas pipelines running through Ukrainian territory and setting up cooperation with professional international terrorists," according to a statement published on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.
