Kremlin: European Countries' Statements 'Confrontational'

The Kremlin accused European countries on Saturday of making contradictory and confrontational statements, Interfax news agency reported, after European leaders backed a U.S. plan for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine and threatened Russia with "massive" sanctions if it failed to comply.

"We hear many contradictory statements from Europe. They are generally confrontational in nature rather than aimed at trying to revive our relations. Nothing more," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying.
