Russian Foreign Ministry warns about fatal consequences of any sudden moves on contact line in Donbas

MOSCOW. Feb 16 (Interfax) - Any sudden moves on the contact line in Ukraine may have fatal consequences, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.

"The hysteria fanned by the West has put severe psychological pressure on the population of Ukraine, but it is up to them to deal with it," Zakharova said at a briefing on Wednesday.

"We are concerned about another thing. It is a country in a hot phase of an internal conflict and, therefore, people's condition, including their mental state, is important. Because any sudden move, including on the contact line, any shot, any provocation may ultimately lead to some fatal consequences," she said.
