MOSCOW. Sept 18 (Interfax) - Russia is ready to compromise on a draft resolution of the UN Security Council regarding the peacekeeping mission in Donbas, the First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council's Defense and Security Committee, Franz Klintsevich, told Interfax on Monday.
"Of course, we are ready to compromise on the deployment of the Blue Helmets; the president has said so. Yet we insist that the Blue Helmets be stationed on the contact line, rather than control the border between Russia and the unrecognized republics," Klintsevich said.
Ukraine and the United States have not been honest; they "do not seek peace, just demagogy and attempts to camouflage unseemly things with decent deeds," he said.
"Those objectives and the means for achieving them contravene common sense, moral norms, and human decency. They are leading to confrontation. We cannot agree to that," Klintsevich said.
There is a way out: "Peacekeepers should be stationed on the contact line, security should be provided, and a chance should be given to transport them [the monitors] all over the territory," he said.
The United States and Ukraine have been intentionally hindering normalization in Donbas by blocking the Russian draft resolution on peacekeepers, the Chairman of the Federation Council's Information Policy Commission, Alexei Pushkov, said.
"In refusing to support the Russian draft resolution on peacekeepers, the United States and Kyiv are blocking the chance for normalization. What is more, they are doing so intentionally," Pushkov said in a post on his Twitter account.
