Lavrov tells Blinken West seeking to provoke Ukraine conflict

 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday accused the United States of seeking to provoke a conflict in Ukraine, during a call with his US counterpart Antony Blinken, the Russian foreign ministry said.
 
  Lavrov said "the propaganda campaign unleashed by the United States and its allies concerning 'Russian aggression' against Ukraine pursues provocative goals," the Russian foreign ministry said.
 
  That had the effect of "encouraging the authorities in Kyiv to sabotage the Minsk agreements and harm attempts to resolve the 'Donbass problem' by force," it added, referring to eastern Ukraine.
 
  Lavrov and Blinken spoke by phone as US President Joe Biden and France's Emmanuel Macron prepared to sound out Russian leader Vladimir Putin later Saturday after Washington warned that an all-out invasion could begin "any day".
 
  Weeks of tensions have seen Russia surround its western neighbour with more than 100,000 troops. Moscow is demanding binding security guarantees from the West that includes a pledge to roll NATO forces out of eastern Europe and to never expand into Ukraine.
 
  Washington has flatly rejected the demands while offering to discuss a new European disarmament agreement with Moscow.
 
  On Saturday Lavrov reiterated that the West had ignored "key" Moscow demands, the foreign ministry said.
 
  "It was emphasised that these issues will be at the centre of our assessment of the documents received from the US and NATO," the ministry added.
