Moscow: Some western countries pursue geopolitical goals regarding Ukraine

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that some Western countries are more concerned with unilateral geopolitics, than the fate of Ukraine. "We are forced to note that some of our Western partners seem to be more concerned with unilateral geopolitical calculations, than about the fate of Ukraine," the ministry stated on its website this Monday, Voice of Russia reported. "For reasons unknown our colleagues do not assess the criminal actions of extremists, including their neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic manifestations. Moreover, wittingly or not, such actions are even encouraged," the Russian Foreign Ministry said. "We have the impression that the agreement of February 21, with the tacit consent of external sponsors, is only used as a cover to promote the script of a compulsory change of power in Ukraine through the creation of 'facts as the play progresses' with no desire to seek an all-Ukrainian consensus and general reconciliation. We are particularly disturbed by attempts to justify these actions with the help of international organizations, including the UN Secretariat," the Foreign Ministry said.
