#Lavrov: It’s vital that we helped the #Ukrainian people resolve a crisis that is not #Russia’s doing
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: They decided to punish us for #Ukrainians’ refusal to unanimously approve a state coup
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: They decided to shift the blame to us for bringing the situation in #Ukraine to an unconstitutional overthrow
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: It was their choice. They suspended any communication with #Russia, and are now searching for ways to resume it without losing face
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: If they propose unblocking communications channels, we won’t be vindictive; we will reciprocate
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: The rights of Donetsk and Lugansk as part of #Ukraine must be fully respected during conflict settlement
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: They also depend on us politically. We are urging respect for their legitimate rights as part of the #Ukrainian nation
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: Of course, we can influence Donetsk and Lugansk. They seriously depend on us, in particular for humanitarian assistance
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: These people have a different view of the situation. They live under constant shelling. Some of them have been driven to despair
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: I believe that we don’t have a moral right to dictate to them what they must or must not do
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: Our main achievement is that following #Minsk2 Donetsk and Lugansk agreed to search for a solution as part of #Ukraine
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: We have convinced Lugansk and Donetsk to support #Minsk2, to agree that its implementation must ensure #Ukraine’s integrity
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: Under #Minsk2, almost nothing depends on #Russia apart from the pledge to influence the sides, which we have been doing
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: These regions must have special status within #Ukraine, as provided for in #Minsk2 in terms of the decentralisation of power
Lavrov: #Russia supported #Minsk2 wholeheartedly and without any reservation. It fully meets our stance on conflict settlement
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
Lavrov: Questioning the potential of #Minsk2 and #Ukraine’s integrity would amount to bowing to extremists
MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
#Lavrov: We want Kiev to implement all provisions, including decentralisation, constitutional reform and amnesty
