Alexey Pushkov, head of the Russian State Duma's International Affairs Committee, said that the latest statements on Russia by Ukrainian authorities are little more than schizophrenia, Russia's RIA Novosti news agency reported.

"Kiev [says] it is not going to return our debts, depicts Russia as the world evil and as an aggressor, at the same time requesting discounts for [Russian] gas. This is schizophrenia rather than policy," Pushkov said in his microblog on Twitter.

Last week, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced that his Cabinet will cease operating the 1993 treaty on military-technical cooperation with Russia.

He referred to Russia as the "aggressor state", which he said "poses a threat for the Ukrainian state and its territorial integrity."

In another development last week, Ukraine asked Russia for an extension of a discount on the price of gas until the end of this year, according to Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak.

He said that Russia has received Ukraine's official request on the matter, but that no negotiations on Ukrainian gas are expected until June.

In March 2015, Russia approved the extension of the discount, which it said should not exceed 100 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters, until the end of the year's second quarter which expires on June 30.
