"We hold them fully responsible for the fact that peace has not yet come to the land of Donbass, to the land of Ukraine, that we have not been able to move forward on the negotiation track actually since mid-April," said Russian Deputy Minister.
The Russian official explained that since then, negotiations have been stuck because of the incitements sent to Kiev "by its supervisors, puppeteers of the West." Riabkov considers this as a reflection of a chance for a peaceful solution.
The Deputy commented on the freeze of the Russia-Ukraine negotiations due to Kiev's authorities' decision. He takes the chance to highlight how unappropriated the fact of the U.S. supplying heavy weaponry to the country.
Riabkov reaffirmed the warnings previously made by Moscow, referring to the convoys with weapons for Kiev would say that they would be a legitimate target for the Kiev Armed Forces.
