“A little more than half of the meeting, which was with the President and Chancellor Merkel, has been devoted to the Ukraine and the need for the G7 and European partners continued to show unity against Russia and its destabilizing activities in Ukraine”, – he said Ernest.
Moscow has repeatedly rejected Western accusations of interference in internal Ukrainian conflict.
