Russia not considering peacekeeping operation in Ukraine (Foreign Ministry)

Russia is not considering a peacekeeping operation in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s official spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told reporters on Thursday. "

You've probably read somewhere, in your sources, about a certain peacekeeping operation. There's no such thing. 

Those are speculations that have apparently been launched by someone on purpose to force Russia to respond to the events in Ukraine in a way that someone at the highest level would want it to," the diplomat said in reply to a Ukrainian journalist's question whether it was true that Russian servicemen would account for 60% of a future peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine.

Lukashevich reiterated Moscow's support of an OSCE mission in Ukraine, seeing it as a "very important monitoring mechanism"....[The Voice of Russia]
