Council of Europe ‘must urge Kiev to comply with Geneva accord’ – Russian Foreign Ministry

World

The Council of Europe must urge the present de-facto authorities in Kiev to unconditionally comply with the Geneva accord on de-escalation of tensions and work on a new Constitution, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

 “In view of a crisis situation in Ukraine, potentials of the Council of Europe must be used for legal assistance in the carrying out of a profound constitutional reform in that country, based on inclusive national dialogue with an aim to overcome split of the society,” it said.

“The policy practiced by Kiev to restrict freedom of the media, impose restrictions on travels between Russia and Ukraine, use armed forces against civilians are at variance with the basic norms and principles of the Council of Europe and must be immediately stopped,” the ministry added. “Council of Europe’s related agencies must make an adequate estimate of this practice,” it added.
