Russia's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday said it believed that both the West and Kyiv had distorted an agreement reached in Geneva last week aimed at defusing the Ukraine crisis.
Moscow said it believed that both the Ukrainian provisional government and Washington had been "closing their eyes" to "provocative actions" by Ukrainian nationalists. It called for a de-escalation of the situation after Ukraine re-launched military operations against pro-Kremlin separatists late on Tuesday, adding that talks should take place involving all parties.
"The Russian side once again insists on the immediate de-escalation of the situation in Ukraine's southeast, the pullback of units of the Ukrainian army and the start of a genuine internal Ukrainian dialogue involving all of the country's regions and political formations," the ministry said.
