Lavrov on Ukraine: Everyone supports Minsk. "nuances" on implementation. Calls on US to pressure Kiev. We will pressure Donetsk & Luhansk.

Next week, we (@BILD) will publish evidence that this is a blatant lie and #Russia has long abandoned #Minsk.

It will be a major revelation, showing #Putin's real intentions re the occupied territories.
We will publish it in English and German.

Russian ground attacks are slowly gaining in strength and intensity over the last three weeks which indicates a slow stepped Russian ground offensive designed to push the UAF away from Donetsk and other key front line positions...

The life of an OSCE SMM civilian observer is getting a tad dangerous these days as the Russians and her mercenaries are now directly firing at them...definitely not "warning shots"....trying to inhibit all OSCE activities in eastern Ukraine...
