The chairman of the Russian State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee, Alexei Pushkov, has said he is skeptical about the possibility of settling the crisis in Ukraine any time soon.

“The Ukrainian crisis is far from being over. Part of the country hates and refuses to recognize the authorities, the fascists are burning people alive, and the militiamen are not going to surrender,” Pushkov said on his Twitter page last night.
