The Russian Foreign Ministry assessed NATO's actions in connection with the conflict in Ukraine

“The NATO countries did not hide the fact that they would like to discuss the conflict in Ukraine .... This has absolutely no added value, given that NATO has no role (in the settlement. -

According to him, "NATO's assistance to the most militant circles in Kiev contradicts the task of finding a political settlement and the implementation of the Minsk agreements."

The deputy foreign minister also added that NATO's actions "encourage the Kiev authorities to continue to sabotage the Minsk package of measures."

Earlier, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ruslan Khomchak discussed the situation in Donbass by the chairman of the NATO military committee, Stuart Peach.
