A Russian delegation to the OSCE is spreading misinformation about Ukraine s alleged guilt in the current escalation in Donbas, but Russia, and not Ukraine, is responsible for this.
Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Mission to the OSCE Courtney Austrian said this at a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna on Thursday, April 15, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“For seven years, Russia has orchestrated a large-scale hybrid campaign against Ukraine, while denying its involvement and obstructing progress toward a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Now Russia is further escalating tensions through its flash military build-up in occupied Crimea and on Ukraine’s eastern flank,” she said.
Russia urges West to stop instigating Ukraine to use force in Donbass, says Zakharova
She said that Russia is not interested in fanning the blaze of civil war in Donbass and it will do its utmost to protect its civilians and ensure peace on this long-suffering land
MOSCOW, April 15. /TASS/. Russia has no hope for the common sense of the authorities in Kiev and it urges their Western sponsors to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine and inciting it to launch disastrous adventures against Crimea and Donbass, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Thursday.
In this context Zakharova drew attention to the fact that the deaths of thousands of civilians, including old people and children, in Donbass remain unpunished and ostensibly invisible to and unnoticed by the world community, while statements and actions by representatives of the Kiev regime ever more often indicate actual departure from the Minsk Accords.
