of Ministers of Ukraine.
The head of the
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reported that Directives for participation in the
quadripartite meetings at the level of Foreign Ministers in Geneva were approved at the Government
session.
A. Deshchytsia
stressed that Ukraine
has a clear position on this meeting. First of all, Ukraine
will insist that Russia
stop to support terrorist groups of armed commandos operating in the Eastern
Regions of Ukraine. "In addition, we require that the RF condemn such
terrorist acts and withdraw forces that are on the eastern borders of Ukraine,"
the head of the Foreign Ministry said.
Acting Minister also
stressed the importance to Ukraine
of revocation by Russia a decision
of the Russian parliament to allow the President of Russia to use Russian
troops on the territory
of Ukraine.
Ukrainian delegation
in Geneva will also raise the issue of the
withdrawal of Russian troops from Crimea and the abolition of legal decisions
on annexation of the Crimea.
