Lavrov: Western govts' points about humanitarian aid for Ukraine represent "outrageous cynicism"

SOCHI, Russia. Aug 11 (Interfax) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday accused the leaders of Britain, the United States and Germany of "outrageous cynicism."

"We don't cease to be amazed at statements that come from Western capitals about what is happening in south-eastern Ukraine," Lavrov told reporters.

"If what has been reported by press services in London, Washington and, I think, Berlin as well, is true - about telephone contacts between the leaders of the United States, Britain and Germany, - if it's true that the three leaders agreed that there's no need for humanitarian relief for south-eastern Ukraine because all necessary measures are already being taken, it is outrageous cynicism," the minister said.
