By seeking the deployment of a peacekeeping mission in conflict-hit eastern Kiev is trying to distract attention from its failure to comply with the Minsk agreements, Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said Friday.

UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) — On Sunday, Ukrainian Ambassador to the United Nations Volodymyr Yelchenko told Ukrainian Apostrophe news website that Kiev would intensify efforts on deployment of peacekeepers in Donbass during Ukraine's non-permanent membership in the UNSC

"We consider all the talks about the deployment of a peacekeeping mission in eastern Ukraine as an attempt to distract attention from Kiev's non-fulfillment of a number of key points of the Minsk agreements, signed on February 12, 2015," Churkin's statement reads.
