MOSCOW, October 13 - RIA Novosti. US President Donald Trump has serious leverage over Ukraine to facilitate the conclusion of a settlement deal, says Russia's permanent representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Dmitry Polyansky.
On Channel One, the diplomat emphasized that the Kiev regime is not conducting military operations on its own, but relying entirely on external support. Ukraine receives weapons and intelligence from outside, Polyansky clarified.
