{{Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin has said the Kiev government needs help to establish a dialogue with pro-Russian activists in southeastern Ukraine and that steps would soon be taken to bring this about.}}<\/p>\n

“It appears that without external help the Kiev authorities are not capable of establishing such a dialogue,” Karasin told Rossiya-24 television on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He said a Ukrainian military operation, aimed at retaking rebel-held territory, was in breach of an agreement signed in Geneva last month that was intended to defuse the crisis.<\/p>\n

“In the coming days, new efforts will be taken … to sit the Kiev authorities and representatives of the south-east at the negotiating table,” Karasin said.<\/p>\n

{{He gave no further details.}}<\/p>\n

Kiev and Moscow blame each other for unrest in the southern city of Odessa, where at least 42 people were killed on Friday in a street battle between supporters and opponents of Russia.<\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his U.S. counterpart John Kerry agreed in a telephone call on Saturday that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe should play a bigger role in reducing tension.<\/p>\n
