"We are witnessing a complete sabotage in the political part of the Paris agreements, where the president of [Ukraine] Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky committed himself to finally achieve the inclusion of the" Steinmeier formula "in the legislation of Ukraine," TASS quoted him as saying.

According to him, Ukraine also does not want to discuss all legal aspects of ensuring the special political status of Donbass in Ukrainian legislation.

Lavrov also said that Russia is convinced that Zelensky sincerely wants peace in the Donbass, but "they don’t see that he would be allowed to move towards the faithful, honest implementation of the Minsk complex of measures of February 2015."

In March, Lavrov said that he had sent letters to colleagues from France and Germany because of the provocative statements of Kiev in the Donbass.
