Russia' Security Council proposes Ukraine settlement plan - Lavrov
SOCHI. March 10 (Interfax) - Russia's Security Council has prepared its own proposals on Ukraine settlement for the American partners in order to return the situation in that country into the framework of international law and to take the interests of all Ukrainian citizens into account, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
"We are not just passively receiving proposals from our colleagues. We have prepared our own proposals with the Russian Security Council's participation," Lavrov told President Vladimir Putin on Monday.
"The idea is to bring the situation back into the framework of international law with due account taken of the interests of all Ukrainians without exception, given the current deep state crisis in hat country," he said.
Lavrov said he was ready to inform the president about the proposals prepared. "I hope we will pass them over to our partners shortly after this, in order to maintain the dialogue," he said.
Putin suggested discussing "all circumstances of this problem at length."
