Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Ryabkov, pity that Volker "plays in the Kiev half of the field"

Statements by the US Special Representative on Ukraine Kurt Volcker testify to his support of the Ukrainian side in a conflict with the Russian Federation

This was stated by deputy head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Ryabkov, reports Interaffairs.

"We understand that the western sponsors of the Kiev regime are so concerned about preserving everything that they control and allowing them to believe that they will press Russia, that no progress will be made in the behavior of the Kiev authorities in the near future," he said.

According to Ryabkov, Volcker's statements testify that the United States does not want to go with Russia for a "compromise".

"We see numerous statements by the US Special Representative on Ukraine, which clearly plays in the Kyiv side of the field, which is an indication of how much Americans, within their line of pressure, took unilateral measures to take advantage of the compromise as a method of solving problems," he stressed.

Volker states that at the meeting of US and Russian presidents in Helsinki, the American side did not give way to any of the issues that might disturb Ukraine. Volker believes that in order to resolve the conflict in the Donbass, UN peacekeepers should "replace" the troops of the Russian Federation.
