"It would be very important for the US to use its influence and give necessary signals" to pull Ukraine away from its military attempts and put it on a political track to solve the crisis, the Interfax news agency quoted Lavrov as saying at a briefing.
Noting that the Ukrainian parliament has been discussing whether to repeal Ukraine's non-aligned status, Lavrov said that indicated that a "party of war" was taking steps to undermine the search for a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis.
"That initiative came right after agreements were reached at the Minsk meeting last Tuesday to find a generally acceptable solution to the crisis in the framework of the contact group," Lavrov said.
"The party of peace tried and is still trying to put forward a negotiating and political solution to all main issues that Ukrainians face. At the same time, however, the party of war is taking steps clearly aimed at disrupting those efforts," he added.

The vehicle came under fire and burned down on a highway near Donetsk.
Today the results of the expertise were revealed: he was inside that vehicle, a 33-year-old young man who was full of life, an incredible professional, and a compassionate person, Andrei Stenin. He didn’t have any children and wasn’t married. Only his mother remains who the entire month was waiting for news about the fate of her son with hope......................http://en.ria.ru/world/20140903/192581043/Statement-by-Rossiya-Segodnya-Director-General-on-Death-of.html
