The Russian Foreign Minister accused Europe of wanting to thwart attempts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine

Europe is doing everything to thwart attempts at a peaceful settlement of the situation in Ukraine, which the United States is also interested in, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday. "Europe is doing everything to prevent a peaceful settlement and disrupt the prospects for negotiations that many, including the Trump administration, are interested in," Lavrov said on Saturday, in a speech at the general political debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
