Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has stressed the need to continue talks regarding the Ukrainian peace process instead of "poking a finger" at certain participants of Minsk consultations.

"[They] should continue talks and not point a finger at Russia, at the militias," he told reporters, commenting on the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's claim that Kyiv is expecting Moscow, as one of the signatories to the Minsk Accords, to react to the disruption of the consultations held in Minsk last weekend.
