MOSCOW, 16 March 2022, (TON): Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, in a telephone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, urged to stop the war as soon as possible, and Russia is doing just that.

This was stated on Tuesday by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov following talks with his Iranian counterpart.

He said “during the negotiations, the Minister infor-med about the telephone conversation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, conveyed Mr. Kuleba’s wishes that the war should be stopped as soon as possible. I can assure you that this is exactly what we are doing.”

As Lavrov stressed, Russia “stops the war that the Kyiv regime has waged against the population of Donbass for at least eight years.”

“This war must stop,” the minister pointed out.

“We see once again confirmation of the true face of the Kiev radicals, who yesterday attacked the city center of Donetsk from the Tochka-U system with cluster munitions, killing 20 and injuring even more civilians.”

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the West is strenuously hushing up all the facts about the actions of the Kiev radicals and continues to whip up hysteria, spreading outright fakes.
