Lavrov sees no perspective of deploying intl forces to Donbas
Donbas will not agree to the deployment of international forces; besides, this is not envisaged by the Minsk agreements, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"This is not envisaged by the Minsk agreements. Donbas will never agree to that, and the Minsk agreements demand that every settlement step be coordinated with Donbas," Lavrov said in a live program answering questions from Komsomolskaya Pravda readers.
"The security issue has suddenly become a top priority of President Poroshenko, not just a ceasefire, but the provision of security by some kind of international forces throughout the territory of Donbas," the minister said.
