Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich has called Kyiv's allegations that Russia is trying to disrupt the upcoming presidential elections in Ukraine as unfounded and doubted that the United Nations Security Council will address the issue.
“These unfounded accusations that they have incontrovertible proof of
Russia’s interference in various forms aimed at disrupting, as they
say, the presidential elections in Ukraine – this all is just the work
of the devil,” Lukashevich said at a news conference in Moscow on
Thursday.
Lukashevich said he was sure that Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy
Yatseniuk’s proposal on convening an extraordinary UN Security Council
session on the matter would not be supported.
“If there is an initiative, we’ll consider it, but it seems to me
that this is an absolutely hopeless and propagandistically negligible
move that is unlikely to win support from the Security Council and other
UN members,” he said.
