MOSCOW, April 11 (Xinhua) -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday Russia has no intention to incorporate the southeastern regions of Ukraine.

"We want Ukraine to stay whole, within its current borders with full respect for its regions," the minister said.
Later in the day, Lavrov called on the United States to prevent the use of force in southeastern part of Ukraine.
During a telephone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Lavrov "drew attention to the disturbed situation in Ukraine's southeast, including
ongoing2 threats of storming the buildings that are under control of protesters," the Foreign
Ministry3 said in an online statement.
Lavrov urged the U.S. to "use all its influence on the authorities in Kiev so as to prevent any use of force and push them towards a dialogue with regional representatives to create the conditions allowing comprehensive constitutional reform to be held," according to the statement.
Kerry
reassured4 Lavrov that the U.S. is working to "normalize the situation," said the ministry in the statement.
