MOSCOW, May 12. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia calls for Ukrainian settlement principles agreed upon in Geneva to be realised in practical actions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after talks with visiting Ugandan counterpart Sam Kutesa in the Russian capital on Monday.

“All key players agreed that main principles of settlement (in Ukraine) were agreed upon at Geneva talks on April 17 and now it is needed not to recur past events, but translate these principles in practical actions that conflicting parties should take,” the Russian top diplomat said.

Russia praises Uganda’s position on Ukraine, particularly in the UN, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.

“We’re grateful to our partners for the support of our drafts and resolutions, i.e. the resolution against the glorification of Nazism,” Lavrov said at talks with Ugandan counterpart Sam Kutesa.

“We noted the high level of cooperation of our delegations in the UN,” he said.
