MOSCOW, August 15. /TASS/. Kiev can use three directions for provocations to try to disrupt the Russian-US summit in Alaska, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador at Large on Kiev’s War Crimes Rodion Miroshnik told TASS.

"This topic is literally in the air, there are many direct and indirect confirmations that Kiev will use all the arsenal available to it to either disrupt the negotiation process as much as possible or create an extremely negative background towards Russia as a participant in the negotiations," he said. "We see at least three directions in which provocations are being prepared and are already being implemented in some places."

The first direction, according to him, is stepping up attacks on civilian targets. "There are about 450 strikes on civilian targets along the line of contact every day, and the number of settlements being hit has almost doubled," he said. "This is Kiev’s way of demonstration of disagreement with the fact that the conflict can be resolved through political and diplomatic means. They show that no matter how the negotiations end, they will seek to violate the agreements. This is manifested precisely in the increase in the number of attacks."

The diplomat added that the number of victims is growing, including among children, attacks on ambulances and other targeted attacks are being recorded.
