US Secretary of State met with the head of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which takes place today and tomorrow in Basel Switzerland.
An interview comes as Russian-US relations are at their lowest and while the OSCE examines the puzzle of apparently found peace in Ukraine
As such, Federica Mogherini, the head of European diplomacy reiterated the position of the Europeans, "it is clear that little can be achieved without the constructive engagement of Russia. Russia must assume its responsibilities and exercise. The influx of weapons, equipment and troops across the border with Russia must be stopped. Similarly, we call for the withdrawal of all foreign forces and illegal, mercenaries and military equipment in the eastern Ukraine. "
Peace agreements signed last September in Minsk between Kiev and rebels with the participation of Moscow and the OSCE have been violated almost daily by both sides.
On the sidelines of the conference, protesters denounced the role of Russia and called on the OSCE to act to release political prisoners and end this bloody conflict.
