You're reading: Lavrov: Kyiv’s idea to involve UN in unlawful actions in southeastern Ukraine is “over the top”

Beijing, April 15 – The new Ukrainian authorities' initiatives to secure the UN's involvement in unlawful actions in the southeast of the country are "completely over the top", Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.

“One cannot invite someone to a dialogue with one hand and give criminal
orders to use the army against one’s own people with the other.
Furthermore, the UN is being invited to take part in these unlawful
actions. It is completely over the top,” he said at a press conference
after talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
