Russia demands U.S. stop condoning party of war in Kyiv - Russian OSCE envoy

MOSCOW. Jan 29 (Interfax) - Russia demands that Washington stop condoning the Ukrainian authorities, which continue military action in southeastern Ukraine, Russian envoy to the OSCE Andrei Kelin said.

"We would like to address representatives of the countries that have influence over the Ukrainian administration, primarily Washington. It's time to stop condoning the Ukrainian party of war, their 'Hawks,' cover up their inhumane actions, it's unacceptable to encourage further military action in eastern Ukraine," he said at a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna on Thursday.

"Such developments can have only one result: catastrophe," Kelin said.
