MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Ukrainian authorities are “torpedoing” the Minsk agreements on reconciliation, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday.
“There is a paradox in the fact that the more actively Kiev torpedoes the Minsk agreements, and they are torpedoing them actively, the more the Russian Federation is to blame,” Lavrov said during a joint press conference with Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn in Moscow.
The Minsk agreements on Ukrainian reconciliation cannot be revised and need to be fulfilled as a whole, Lavrov said Friday.
“I warned our Western colleagues in Europe, as well as [US Secretary of State] John Kerry, that this would be unacceptable. The Minsk package is just that, a package that cannot be destroyed,” Lavrov said during a joint press conference with Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn in Moscow.
