Russia continue not going to give residents of Lugansk and Donetsk in trouble. Convoy again preparing for the journey. The Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference, the main and only theme of which was the situation in the south-east of Ukraine. OSCE and the International Committee of the Red Cross recognized: the situation in the south-east of Ukraine worsens.
The OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier to assess the situation in the east of Ukraine, as a humanitarian catastrophe. Under the gun artillery and aviation – hospitals, churches, nurseries and homes. Repeated contact with their shells, according to Lavrov, can not be attributed to chance. People staying in a combat zone, need help.
“We have sent yesterday an official note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, informing about our intention to prepare the next convoy carrying humanitarian supplies. Provide a detailed list of items and quantities of goods, which is scheduled to be sent. Looked forward to close cooperation with the Ukrainian authorities to align all the necessary formalities. expect that the time it would take, taking into account the already existing experience, will not be so long as it was the case with the first convoy, “- said Sergey Lavrov.
The first convoy left Moscow on 12 August. However, in Lugansk column came only 22th. The next day, all the cars returned to Russia. Whole week column with food and medicines, which have been waiting in the south-east of Ukraine, was forced to stand on the border, there was no permission to enter. Russia went to all the conditions of Kiev, but the Ukrainian authorities to come up with all these new obstacles, due to which, and there is a delay. These delays Sergei Lavrov called artificial.
“The situation with the convoy was unhealthy. We tried to strictly follow the norms and principles of international humanitarian law. Originally obtained the consent of the Ukrainian side, which was confirmed by an official note of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine dated 12 August . worked closely with the border guard and customs services of Ukraine. Everyone had the opportunity to make, including, and representatives of the media, is that nothing in these trucks was not, except for humanitarian goods, and that all trucks after assistance was delivered, returned empty to the territory of the Russian Federation “, – said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
humanitarian catastrophe going tomorrow to discuss the presidents of Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukrainian President. Minsk will host a meeting of heads of the Customs Union with Peter Poroshenko and representatives of the European Union.
Journalists interested in the possibility of personal talks between Putin and Poroshenko. Information about bilateral meetings will be announced later, Lavrov said. The official topic of discussion – the economic cooperation between the Customs Union and Ukraine. This question is particularly relevant since the signing of the agreement on Kiev’s European integration. Indeed, in the framework of the CIS has a free trade zone.
“We have long called for to ensure that it is in this format to begin non-political, professional, pragmatic, specific discussion of how combined liabilities of the Ukrainian state on the CIS free trade zone on the one hand, and those obligations that Ukraine is ready to take on in the framework of the signed but not yet ratified the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union “, – said Sergey Lavrov.
But still the main task now – to stop the war, the minister said. However, national reconciliation is not possible if the Ukrainian authorities are not ready. Referring to the report of the OSCE, Lavrov said the difficulties faced by refugees from the south-east to the west of the country. The local population is hostile to them, arrange their children to school, finding a job is nearly impossible. A governor of Odessa region Igor Mace and did not publicly called to accept refugees and not to give money for the restoration of Donbass.
“What is offered in return? I do not know. Perhaps the idea is to destroy the living environment of the Russian population of Ukraine that it will be impossible to live there, and Russian will leave, and then populate the “zapadentsev?” But this is ethnic cleansing “- believes the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
An important topic, which has recently been the focus of all world – the collapse of the Malaysian “Boeing”. According to Sergei Lavrov, it is unclear why, after only six weeks on the investigation of the tragedy, which killed nearly 300 people, no one says anything, but the Ukrainian side still does not provide all the information it has.
“It seems that everyone else lost interest in the investigation. After the first sharp, hysterical, accusing Russia and all militias, who spoke with such accusations, as if water clams. nothing intelligible to the reasons for which can not be fully provided decryption recording “black boxes”, the reasons for which the Ukrainian side still can not provide records of negotiations Dnepropetrovsk dispatchers with all aircraft that were flying at the moment on this tier, over this region, nothing distinct about the causes of failure to provide such information has not been told to us, “- said Sergey Lavrov.
Summing up communication, the Foreign Minister said that Russia is ready to negotiate with Ukraine and the world community in a variety of formats. The main thing is that the form does not substitute for the content, and arrangements were made.
