Klintsevich called “political rudeness” Kiev’s refusal to take its equipment from the Crimea
He noted that another reaction in Moscow "was not expected."
According to him, “rejecting the proposal of Russia to return equipment from the Crimea, the Ukrainian government once again demonstrated its apparent unwillingness to look for even the slightest points for cooperation.”
On Monday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin said that Kiev and Moscow are not engaged in a dialogue regarding the status of the Crimea and the return of military equipment from the peninsula. Kiev "will not take any action that can weaken either the political or legal position" of the state.
We will remind, earlier, Vladimir Putin declared his readiness to transfer to the Ukrainian side military ships and combat aircraft from the Crimea, noting that all the equipment was “in a deplorable state”.
