MOSCOW. Jan 24 (Interfax) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has criticized the European countries for not reacting appropriately to radical opposition activists' actions in various parts of Ukraine.

Speaking on the phone with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Friday, "Lavrov, in particular, drew the German counterpart's attention to the seizures of local administration buildings in a number of Ukrainian regions by opposition fighters and the lack of appropriate reaction from European partners," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
