MOSCOW, May 28. /ITAR-TASS/. The military actions in the south-east of Ukraine aggravate the already deadlocked situation, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters on Wednesday.

“We believe that these provocative military actions are leading the situation into a deadlock, and organizing a dialogue with representatives of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions becomes an increasingly difficult task,” the Kremlin official stressed.

Ushakov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had repeatedly stressed this aspect.
