(ANSA-AFP) - WASHINGTON, APR 25 - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia is "ready" to reach an agreement with Ukraine, according to an interview with CBS News posted online Thursday. US President Donald Trump "mentions a deal and we are ready to reach a deal but there are still some specific elements of this deal which need to be fine-tuned," Lavrov said in the interview. "There are several signs that we are moving in the right direction," he added. When asked about a new wave of strikes on Ukraine which left at least 12 dead and dozens more injured in Kyiv, Lavrov said: "We only target military goals or civilian sites used by the military." "If this was a target used by the Ukrainian military, the Ministry of Defense, the commanders in the field have the right to attack them," he continued. Earlier Thursday, Trump issued a rare rebuke of the Kremlin via social media: "I am not happy with the Russian strikes," Trump wrote. "Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP!" (ANSA-AFP).
