MOSCOW, September 13 (RIA Novosti) – Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko is interested in promoting the peace agreements reached in Minsk and the West should support his focus on their implementation, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Saturday.
“I think [Petro] Poroshenko is interested in promoting the peace agreements and needs support, first of all from the West, which staked on the transition of the situation in Ukraine from the post-Maidan state to a legitimate course. It’s with that purpose that the presidential elections were announced,” Lavrov told the Russian TVC channel.
The minister noted that “the West should support Poroshenko’s focus on the implementation of peace agreements”. “Because all the others, many, at least, are trying to seriously hinder his efforts,” Lavrov said.
