There is no evidence proving West is fulfilling its liabilities under Geneva statement - RF diplomat

MOSCOW, April 29 (Itar-Tass) - There is not a single reliable evidence proving that the Western partners are fulfilling their liabilities under the Geneva statement on Ukraine, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Tuesday. “We have the Geneva statement of April 17,” he told the Gazeta.ru online newspaper. “The questions is to have the Kiev authorities and their sponsors, I would rather say ‘wire-pullers,’ in Washington and in some European capitals strictly follow this statement and fulfill it. They are laying claims to us that we allegedly demonstrate poor work in thus sense, but, as a matter of fact, there is not a single reliable evidence proving that they fulfill the Geneva statement.” Ryabkov stressed that a key provision of the Geneva statement was the “disarmament of the Right Sector and leaving illegally seized streets and squares across the entire Ukraine.” “We cannot put up with the situation when the entire political pressure and entire criticism are aimed only at protesters in Ukraine’s eastern and southeastern regions as though there is nothing that has forced these people to resort to such an extreme form of expressing their protest,” he said. “It’s high time to begin organizing of a normal inclusive political process that is to be crowned by a constitutional reform in Ukraine,” he stressed. “This will be the basis for elections, referendums, whatever. It is wrong to just stay in Kiev, agree anything among themselves and at the same time demand that people who no longer can put up with the situation should surrender arms, vacate buildings, return to their homes and live by the rules written by no one knows whom, no one knows how and no one knows on what basis.” Learn more on itar-tass.com
