Russia reaffirms its offer of international assistance to the start of a genuine national dialogue of all the political and regional forces in Ukraine and states its preparedness to taking part in the appropriate efforts together with its foreign partners, Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Monday.

“The people of Ukraine certainly want to hear unambiguous answers to all the questions from those at the helm of power in Kiev,” the Foreign Ministry said.
