"This is a criminal decision," Russia's minister for foreign affairs said in an interview

“There is no dialogue with the opposition forces in Ukraine. This is an official stance, which the United States is distributing worldwide,” the Russian foreign minister went on to say.

"There is no need to prove that this approach is no-go,” Lavrov stressed.
