Moscow surprised by NATO statement on Ukraine - Lavrov
Moscow is surprised by NATO's statement against the use of force in dispersing demonstrations in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"I don't know why NATO should issue such statements, and I don't know why NATO Secretary General Mr. Fogh Rasmussen should answer the question as to whether Russia could send troops to Ukraine - I don't know why such questions should be asked. And, in my view, this produces a distorted picture, and such signals may cause an absolutely incorrect understanding of what is going on in some distorted and inflamed minds," Lavrov said at a press conference following a Russia-NATO Council session in Brussels on Wednesday.
"We presume that this is Ukraine's internal affair," he said.
