MOSCOW, November 24. /TASS/. Kiev is set to disrupt talks on resolving the Ukraine conflict; the G20 summit in Johannesburg boosts Africa’s global role; and the White House wages a psychological war against Venezuela’s president. These stories topped Monday’s newspaper headlines across Russia.
Efforts to settle the Ukraine conflict have been significantly stepped up, with Moscow and Kiev receiving Washington’s peace plan. However, the risk is quite high that the negotiation process will be disrupted. Brussels and Kiev are making no secret of their outrage at some provisions of the plan, seeking to work out their own proposals that would be more pro-Ukrainian, Izvestia reports.
Meanwhile, Kiev may carry out terrorist attacks or false-flag operations in order to divert attention from Ukraine’s corruption scandal or create a "deadly environment" for the talks promoted by the US, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Ambassador-at-Large tasked with overseeing the Kiev regime’s crimes, told the newspaper.
The Geneva consultations between the delegations of the US, Ukraine and the EU could possibly produce another edition of the plan, which Russia would find unacceptable, Dmitry Solonnikov, director of the Institute of Contemporary State Development, warned.
