Says representative of the government which enticed and supported ethnic conflicts in Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Moldova.
From the above article
I have also heard that the temporary ceasefire was necessary so that the so-called separatists leave Ukrainian territory, that is close to ethnic cleansing," the minister added.
Just saw this in a Reuters report and couldn't believe my ears. Link to video of his remark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEAEXk950ZI#t=78s
Mass shellings, rocket attacks, and such on cities controlled by separatists.
Unilateral cease fire, telling the separatists now is the time to leave before we do worse.
"Ethnic cleansing" - Lavrov, "disproportionate use of force and potential violation of international law" - several humanitarian and human rights organizations
Mass shellings, rocket attacks, and such on cities controlled by separatists.
Most likely done by rebels to give Putin a casus belli. The government troops don't even respond when the rebels shell them from populated areas, which is pretty much how they fight. This is why it took so unbelievably long to disable the Nona that was in rebel hands and killed and injured dozens of troops and civilians.
Guess Reuters is now a Russian propagandist organization:

Best evidence of Lavrov/Russian madness I have come across as of yet. I don't think there's much that could make it more obvious...
