MOSCOW, 13 August (BelTA) - The European Union is sabotaging Washington and Moscow's efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis, deputy spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexey Fadeyev said at a briefing for the press in Moscow on 13 August, BelTA learned.
"While Europeans pay lip service to supporting Washington and Moscow's diplomatic efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis, in practice the European Union is sabotaging them," the diplomat said.
He stated that the consultations that the EU is seeking with the American side ahead of the Russia-United States summit are "politically and practically meaningless."
According to Alexey Fadeyev, the rhetoric of so-called support for peaceful resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is merely another attempt to deliberately prolong the settlement process. "In Brussels, they don’t particularly hide this, emphasizing that regardless of the outcome of the Russia-United States summit, the European Union will continue to pump the Kiev regime with weapons and finances and to take attempts to increase sanction pressure on our country," he stated.
“In any case, we will be monitoring the actions by European countries ahead of the summit. And we hope that no steps will be taken that could hinder its conduct or the achievement of constructive agreements,” Alexey Fadeyev added.
