Ukraine was mentioned as well. Sergey Lavrov expressed a hope that the Ukrainians will stop looking for a way out by demanding the West to arm them, and supply them with anti-ship missiles that they want to use against the Russian warships in the Black Sea. "They should have given up on such rhetoric a long while ago, and instead of complaining on the mass media space in a hope of maintaining of their ratings - they should do concrete deeds" - Sergey Lavrov concluded. 4 Ukraine "Ukraine is hosting a back-up data processing center of the State Tax Service in Poland" - the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, reported.
