Russia will not denounce Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership with Ukraine, according to a letter by Russia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov to the State Duma.

Lavrov expressed concern about the anti-Russian actions of the Ukrainian authorities, but noted that collapse of relations of two countries was a “premature» measure in such conditions, TASS reported.

“We share concerns about the events on the border with Crimea and other anti-Russian activities by the current Ukrainian government. However, the proposed initiative of denouncing the agreement is premature and not entirely justified under the current circumstances,” Lavrov stated

“Evidently, our potential exit from ‘the Big Treaty’ is unlikely to contribute to solving the problems that have accumulated in the Russian-Ukrainian relations as a result of Kiev's exploits,” the letter says.
