The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to events in Ukraine, referring to European foreign ministers and expressing serious concern to the "inconsistency" of oppositionists who signed an agreement on February 21 in Kyiv.
The site of the foreign policy reports that Lavrov took place "separate telephone conversations with German foreign ministers F.-V.Steinmeier, Poland R. Sikorsky, France L. Fabius."
“Lavrov expressed the most serious concern about the inconsistency of the signing. The opposition not only did not fulfill any of its obligations, but has already put forward all the new requirements, following the armed extremists and pogroms, whose actions pose a direct threat to the sovereignty and the constitutional system of Ukraine,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The Russian minister urgently called on Germany, Poland and France as countries that actively promoted and attested to the signing of the agreement of February 21, to use their influence on the opposition, "to achieve its immediate implementation and the raining of atrocious young people."
Radoslav Sikorsky reacted to events on his Twitter. He stated that there was no seizure of authorities in Kyiv, and the first decisions of the Rada were legally adopted.
No coup in kiev. Gov. Buildings Got Abandoned. Speaker of Rada Elected Legally. Pres. Vyanukovych Has 24h to Sign 04 const. Into Law.
