Russia’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, has criticized Ukraine’s call for the deployment of UN peacekeeping force in eastern Ukraine.
Churkin said the call was a destructive move and “raises suspicions that he (Ukraine President) wants to destroy the Minsk accords.”
The Minsk ceasefire deal was reached a week ago but fighting around the strategic town of Debaltseve led to the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops on Wednesday.
The Ambassador accused Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko of looking for a new scheme instead of doing what he had signed up to.
“If one proposes new schemes right away, the question arises whether the accords will be respected,” he said.
