#Polyanskiy: Forced Ukrainization is an integral part of official #Kiev's policy towards national #minorities. It discriminates a significant part of the population on the basis of #language, triggering major violations of the rights of the Russian🇷🇺-speaking community. https://t.co/nBZySav4Rk
#Nebenzia: As for the calls to settle the crisis around #Ukraine, we are all in favor of that. But there is only one dimension to that crisis – the internal Ukrainian 🇺🇦dimension. The situation can be improved only once #Kiev implements the #MinskAgreements. https://t.co/G7VZVsapkf
#Nebenzia: There is no other way, and if our colleagues drive #Kiev towards sabotaging the #MinskAgreements, which 🇺🇦authorities willingly do, this can only create dire consequences for Ukraine itself. And not because someone tries to ruin it, but because it will ruin itself. https://t.co/7qaGoTIvwP
#Polyanskiy: #MinskAgreements is the only internationally recognized legal basis for resolving internal🇺🇦conflict. The Sky News story [about 2🇬🇧citizens fighting on the frontline on #Kiev's side] shows how #GreatBritain neglects the issue of implementation of this document by🇺🇦. https://t.co/dcYSKCOD7l
#Vershinin: For 7 years 🇷🇺 has been calling on Kiev’s Western sponsors to make them comply with #Minsk. But they did the exact opposite. Growing feeling of impunity bolstered #Kiev to invent more excuses and embark on further military ventures against their own population. https://t.co/GqkMtxRG0F
#Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on #Ukraine: Many our colleagues are willing to attest that the #MinskAgreements are dead, which is not true. #Kiev🇺🇦 still has to implement them. We remain open for a diplomatic solution, but we will not allow for another bloodbath in #Donbas. https://t.co/IGfhZPUjfc
#Nebenzia: What’s more, #Kiev did its best to sabotage and ultimately ruin the #MinskAgreements. Most importantly, it rejected direct negotiations with #Donetsk and #Lugansk, even though this requirement was a central fundamental element of the #MinskPackage. https://t.co/O4H4iOXjiv
#Nebenzia: #Kiev spent eight years bombing its nationals and evading direct dialogue with #Donbas, while also managing to “fool” the intn'l community by proclaiming its commitment to the #MinskAgreements and readiness to implement them, but in a very particular interpretation. https://t.co/QZbVW6fXCo
#Nebenzia: #Ukraine’s Western sponsors did nothing to make #Kiev listen to its people, thus showing double standards. With any other crisis, 🇺🇳members call on conflicting sides to start direct dialogue, otherwise conflict can't be settled. But it's the direct opposite with 🇺🇦. https://t.co/Cmw0YTyEFl
#Nebenzia: #Kiev basically sabotaged the work of the Contact Group in #Minsk. Most of you have no idea what those meetings looked like, and how #Ukrainian representatives undermined the decision-making not only on political, but also on economic & humanitarian issues. @mfa_russia https://t.co/Bn3U2N1sdI
