Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has credited Russia with having given Ukraine a lot more help in practical terms than the West after the change of government in Kyiv in February.
"If one lists our actions after the coup in Ukraine in February this year, actions aiming to normalize the situation, find some constructive solutions to the crisis, it will be a very impressive track record," Lavrov told Interfax.
"This applies to our approach to the process in the southeast and the referendum that took place there, to our attitude to the subsequent elections in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic, to our attitude to the presidential and then parliamentary elections in Ukraine, to our initiatives to organize the Minsk process, which are, in fact, recognized by everyone as the only realistic way out of the situation," the minister said.
