Lavrov Accuses Ukraine of Violating Geneva: US should Be responsible for Its Powers in Kiev

Local Editor

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday accused the government in Kiev of breaching an international accord reached last week toward defusing the crisis in Ukraine.

"The Geneva accord is not only not being fulfilled, but steps are being taken, primarily by those who seized power in Kiev, that are grossly breaching the agreements reached in Geneva," Lavrov said at a news conference in Moscow.

He further called the US should to take responsibility for those whom they put in power instead issuing ultimatums to Moscow.

"All attempts to isolate Russia will lead to a dead end," he added.

Speaking about the crisis situation in eastern Ukraine and Kiev's crackdown on the Donetsk region, Lavrov also said that Kiev authorities don't want or maybe cannot control the extremists who continue to control the situation in the country.

According to Lavrov, the Kiev authorities are still spinning out the implementation of constitutional reform in the country.
"Why were they waiting for so long to speak about the necessity of constitutional reform? Why are they spinning out the process?" he asked at the conference.

Meanwhile, Lavrov also said that the Kiev coup-appointed government has violated the Geneva agreements from April 17.
"They did nothing to eliminate the deep crisis in the country," he added.

Moreover he mentioned: "The attack by militants on the checkpoint in the eastern Ukrainian city of Slavyansk on Easter Sunday is a crime beneficial only for those who want to derail the Geneva agreements."
Lavrov also stressed the necessity of restoring order in the crisis-torn country.
