Not me 'arry, possible an overenthusiastic biased, fake "reporter".

That phrase does not appear in the release I posted, you must have imagined it.

For clarity for all I have copied the complete paragraph I posted, to show the absence of of 'arrys quoted addition.

My reading of the three sentences is that:

1. progress will also be achieved in eastern Ukraine and that the Minsk agreements will be implemented.

2. This is the scenario we want for our continent.

3. deeply convinced that solely through cooperation and joint actions we can make further progress in relations between the two sides.

progress will be made, it is wanted and relations improved.

What other interpretation are you suggesting?

As I've yet to find the Austrian readout of the press conference maybe we should await it's publication, prior to relying solely on the Russian official version or a MSM version.
