Ryabkov: Berlin and Paris are playing a double game in the situation with Ukraine

“The reason is that our colleagues in Berlin and Paris are deliberately distorting what is at the heart of our position.

Unfortunately, colleagues are playing a double game, ”he said.

On the evening of November 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry published the correspondence between Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the Foreign Ministers of France and Germany, Jean-Yves Le Drian and Heiko Maas.

This was done to prevent further speculation about the role of Russia in the internal Ukrainian settlement and its approaches to holding a possible ministerial meeting in the Normandy format.

The French Foreign Ministry said the publication was contrary to diplomatic rules.
