According to him, Russia received from its friends in one of the NATO countries "a document - an instruction from the US State Department to all NATO member countries", which talks about how to negotiate with Moscow regarding "the settlement of the conflict and the implementation of the Minsk agreements."
“This is an instruction on how to lead all negotiations to a dead end,” RIA Novosti quotes Kozak.
Kozak also said that the meeting of Normandy format advisers in Berlin showed that three out of four negotiators were not ready to implement the Minsk agreements.
