Vladimir Putin Says West Already Delivering Weapons to Kiev

BUDAPEST (Ooduarere) — The West is supplying weaponry to Kiev, Russian President Vladimir Putin said when asked about Russia’s conceivable response to arms conveyances talked about by the West.

“According to our information, the arms are already being delivered,” Putin said at a public interview Tuesday after talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The Russian President said, notwithstanding, that there is regardless a huge lessening in military movement in southeastern Ukraine (Donbas), where Kiev forces have been battling against independence supporters since last spring.

“Regarding the hostilities [in Donbas], we [Russia] generally mark a significant, and I want to stress that, reduction of military activity there,” Putin said.

The Russian President included that the sooner the suspension of hostilities and withdrawal of artillery is actualized in Donbas, the sooner the Ukrainian clash will be settled.

A week ago, a truce understanding was arrived at between Ukraine’s clashing sides following 16-hour talks between the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France in Minsk. The past truce assention, marked by the Contact Group on Ukraine in the Belarusian capital in September, 2014, fizzled to hold.

Then, a number of European nations, including Germany, have rejected deadly help to Ukraine saying that a flood of weapons into the clash torn nation would not help tackle the progressing emergency, which has taken the lives of over 5,600 individuals, agreeing to the most recent UN gauges.

France, Italy, Spain and Finland have all rejected giving Ukraine with lethal support. Russia has cautioned that arms conveyances to Kiev that the US Congress has been calling for could lead to a sharp increment in violence in Donbas,where fighting intensified at the begining of 2015.
