MOSCOW. April 24 (Interfax) - Moscow is expecting the new Ukrainian administration to promote a settlement of the national crisis through compliance with the Minsk Agreements, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at the Moscow Conference on International Security on Wednesday.
"Hopefully, the new Ukrainian administration will fully realize its responsibility and help resolve the crisis through strict compliance with the Minsk Package of Measures within the framework of the Trilateral Contact Group and the Normandy format, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2202," Lavrov said.
