The U.S. special peace envoy to Ukraine, Kurt Volker, says Russian propaganda is making it a challenge to solve the conflict in the east of the country.
Speaking to RFE/RL’s Ukrainian Service in Washington, Volker said Moscow’s denial of responsibility for its role in the battle between separatists and Ukrainian forces in the eastern part of the country “makes it much harder for the international community to insist that Russia actually fulfill its obligations” under the Minsk peace agreements signed in 2014 and 2015 that were aimed at resolving the conflict.
