30 April 2014, 04:01 -- Speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Tuesday, Russia's permanent envoy to the UN Vitaly Churkin said that the current Ukrainian regime is likely to drive the country to a catastrophe.
'The Kiev regime, supported by Western 'well-wishers', is driving Ukraine to a catastrophe,' Churkin said.
The Russian diplomat also stressed that the recent statements of Ukraine's authorities show that they are not going to fulfill the agreements that were concluded at an international meeting on Ukraine on April 17.
'Several days after that meeting, Ukraine's authorities resumed the so-called 'antiterrorist' (in fact, repressive) operation in the country's southeast,' Vitaly Churkin said. 'They sent about 15,000 troops, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery devices, planes and detachments of the so-called 'Right Sector' there,' Interfax reports.
Moscow insists on a thorough investigation of the assassination of the mayor of Kharkov Gennady Kernes, it is premature to blame activists in southeastern Ukraine, said Russia's permanent representative at the UN.
'A thorough investigation should be held, one should not try to knock him off the scent ' Churkin said during the emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in Ukraine. According to him, some of his Western colleagues rushed to conclusions that the assassination of the mayor of Kharkov was organized by protestors from the south-east of Ukraine.
'It is known that Gennady Kernes sharply opposed the excesses that took place in other regions of Ukraine, had a tough political collision with one of the leaders of the current power structures of Kiev', said Churkin.
