Moscow interested not in declarations, but in deeds of Pyotr Poroshenko

MOSCOW, May 26 (Itar-Tass) - Moscow is interested not in declarations made by Pyotr Poroshenko, but in his real deeds, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday. “We hope that Pyotr Poroshenko, if his powers are confirmed, will do everything to prevent the prevalence of some extremist radical moods in Kiev towards the East, Southeast of Ukraine and towards any other region of the country,” Lavrov said. “We noted in this connection that Poroshenko in his first appearances, answering a question, noted that he, undoubtedly, would be in favour of stopping this “counterterrorist operation.” “We’ll see how this actually happens. He also said that there should be no illegal armed groups anywhere in Ukraine - in the South in the East or other regions,” the RF foreign minister said. “It will be important to understand how the commitment to this goal will be put in practice, in particular, as regards the Right Sector, the so-called Dnepr battalion, other similar structures with very shadowy legal justification of their activity.” “We are interested not in declarations, but in real deeds,” the Russian foreign minister stressed.
