West plots to control Ukraine
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the West of plotting to control Ukraine and said the pro-Russian insurgents in the southeast would lay down their arms only if the Ukrainian government clears out the Maidan protest camp in the capital Kiev.
"The West wants — and this is how it all began — to seize control of Ukraine because of their own political ambitions, not in the interests of the Ukrainian people," Lavrov said on Friday.
U.S. President Barack Obama, speaking to reporters in Seoul, South Korea, said he will call key European leaders later Friday to discuss what's happened since a deal was reached last week in Geneva to de-escalate the crisis.
