Lavrov: Senseless to lay entire blame on militia in eastern Ukraine

MOSCOW. Oct 6 (Interfax) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the West's practice of laying the entire blame on the militia and fully supporting the Kyiv leadership reflects its blind-alley position.

"Perhaps all countries must soberly assess their position on the Ukrainian issue and understand that it is absolutely hopeless to try and lay the entire blame on the militia and to support all of the Kyiv leadership's steps and zigzags," he said at a press conference on Monday.
