Kiev authorities violating Geneva accord: Lavrov

Moscow (AFP) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday accused the government in Kiev of breaching an international accord reached last week toward defusing the crisis in Ukraine.

"The Geneva accord is not only not being fulfilled, but steps are being taken, primarily by those who seized power in Kiev, that are grossly breaching the agreements reached in Geneva," Lavrov said at a news conference in Moscow.
