Tensions to Continue Until Kiev Starts Talks With Donbass — Russian UN envoy

RUSSIA
  • In order to resolve the Ukrainian conflict, Kiev must implement the full range of measures set forth in the Minsk agreements, Vasily Nebenzya noted
  • Until Kiev comes to the conclusion that dialogue with Donbass is the only way to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, of course, the situation will remain as it is,"
  • "The only way to put the matter to rest is by fulfilling the Minsk agreements," he said. "It must be admitted in all fairness that today we are very far from this, and not through our fault, not by our will."
  • “Western partners, in violation of the Minsk agreements, are inundating Kiev with weapons, and it’s offensive rather than defensive. Ukrainian troops are massing near the line of contact in Donbass.”
  • Nebenzya reiterated that Russia isn’t going to commit any malicious actions against Ukraine, especially of a military nature. "Russia didn’t anywhere, on any level, officially state any malign plans with respect to Ukraine." - Tass
