Washington called the mandatory conditions under which he is ready to remove the restrictive measures imposed on Moscow. The US administration's demands were voiced by the US permanent representative to the UN Nikki Haley. In the conditions that the Americans are pushing for our country, there is nothing new. The main thing that, according to Washington, Moscow should do is withdraw its armed forces from the territory of the Donbass, and also restore Ukraine control over the Crimean peninsula. "Until Russia withdraws its forces from the east of Ukraine and fulfills its Minsk promises, our sanctions and retaliatory measures in the light of this outrageous behavior in the east of Ukraine will continue," said the American. According to Hayley, the United States, France, Germany and Ukraine are working hard to establish peace in the East of Nezalezhnaya. However, all their efforts are brought to naught because of Russia. "Russia has refused real cooperation, and our attempts have stalled since January," said a representative of the United States. The Russian Federation "systematically neglects all its promises" and "actually instructs its forces to bombard observers, their chambers, their drones". The Kremlin also ignores the violation of the ceasefire agreements in the Donbass, deploying in the east of Ukraine "thousands of tanks and armored personnel carriers", as well as heavy weapons. The diplomat firmly believes that if the Kremlin wishes, the conflict can be repaid in a matter of days. "The key to solving the problem in the hands of Moscow. We will not forget the thousands of dead Ukrainians in the conflict in the Donbass, "said Haley. Another reason for attacks on our country was the situation with the shot down in eastern Ukraine in July 2014. Malaysian "Boeing".

Haley joined the statements of the authorities of the Netherlands and Australia, which demanded that the Kremlin acknowledge the responsibility for the downed MH17 at the state level. The US representative to the United Nations considers "exhaustive" the evidence of the International Investigation Team, which concluded that the aircraft was shot down by a missile fired from the Buk complex belonging to the 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade deployed in Kursk. At the end of June, the EU authorities must decide on the extension of sanctions against the Russian Federation. The fiery speeches of American politicians are a kind of preparation for this event. Washington is struggling to convince the Europeans not to abandon the meaningless and ineffective restrictive measures that, first of all, harm the American economy. Meanwhile, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia is sure that the key to solving the Donbas conflict is in the hands of Kiev, and not of Moscow.

According to him, the government of Ukraine does not want a settlement of the situation in the Donbass and does not want to regain this problem region. "Why should he have several million citizens who are antivelastically on the eve of the presidential elections of 2019?" The rating of the bankrupt current Kiev authorities is nowhere lower, "the Russian diplomat said at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
