MOSCOW, October 27 (RIA Novosti) – Moscow considers the parliamentary elections in Ukraine as complete and is ready to recognize their results, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.

“It seems that these elections are complete, though not throughout the entire territory of Ukraine. I believe we will recognize these elections because it’s important for us that a power in Ukraine has finally appeared that will not occupy itself with fighting one another and putting Ukraine into a tug-o-war between the West and East, but will take on actual problems that are standing before the country,” Lavrov said on Life News television.
