Russian minister in civil war accusation

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Ukrainian “extremists and hardliners” of seeking to spark a civil war.

Moscow supports negotiations between Ukranian authorities and the opposition so they can try to overcome “this crisis and together fight extremists and hardliners who are trying to provoke a civil war,” Lavrov said at news conference in Baghdad yesterday, in remarks translated from Russian into Arabic.

Ukraine’s crisis was initially over closer ties to the Kremlin.
