“We would like to warn the Kiev regime, the hotheads who serve or manipulate it, from further escalation and attempts to implement a power scenario in Donbass,” she said during a briefing.

Zakharova also noted that Kiev is trying to cover up its inaction on the settlement in Donbass with accusations against Russia.

“Ukrainian officials with enviable regularity, especially recently, are trying to cover up their inaction and outright sabotage of the agreements reached earlier on resolving the situation in the east of the country with accusations against Russia and shift responsibility for the fact that the Ukrainian side has actually brought the negotiation process to a dead end. ", - said Zakharova.

Earlier, the first deputy head of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs Konstantin Zatulin commented on the statements of the former President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk about Kiev's readiness to take "radical steps" in Donbass.
