Russia (bbabo.net), - At the American initiative, a telephone conversation took place between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. This is reported by the Russian department.

During the conversation, Lavrov drew attention to the fact that the propaganda campaign launched by the United States and its allies about "Russian aggression" against Ukraine pursues provocative goals, encouraging the authorities in Kiev to sabotage the Minsk agreements and harmful attempts to resolve the "Donbass problem" by force.

In addition, the reaction of Washington and Brussels to the drafts of the Russian-American treaty and the agreement with NATO on security assurances handed over by the Russian side ignores key provisions for Moscow.

First of all, we are talking about non-expansion of the alliance and non-deployment of strike weapons systems near Russian borders.

The heads of the foreign affairs agencies also touched upon some topical issues of bilateral relations, the Russian Foreign Ministry informed.

Earlier, Aleksey Polishchuk, director of the Second Department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that Ukraine had not fulfilled practically any of the points prescribed in the Minsk agreements for seven years.
