"One can hide as long as they wish behind the fact that security is not ensured. Ukrainians say that political reforms will begin only when the security is 100% ensured in a few weeks or months. This will never happen; it's impossible, this does not happen in any conflict, until the political aspects of the crisis resolved," he stressed.

Lavrov said that he is talking about the law on the special status for Donbas, which should be provided for in the Constitution of Ukraine, and also about the amnesty for the pro-Russian militants.
