Walker focused on the full responsibility of the Russian Federation for the escalation of the conflict. “Russia pretends it is not there. She insists that in the framework of the “channel process” conducted business with representatives of Lugansk and Donetsk, which Russia is created. Although they are irregular and illegal partners. She insists that Ukraine did it. In the effort to find out whether Russia is willing to change course, withdraw its forces and accept a peacekeeping force in the region, Russia said “no” because “you have to deal with people from Lugansk and Donetsk”. And the consequences of this will be just legitimize its presence and lead to further prolongation of the conflict”, – said the representative of the state Department.
