MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday Ukraine's renunciation of its "non-aligned" status was counterproductive and would only boost tensions around the crisis in eastern Ukraine.

"It is counterproductive. It will only escalate the confrontation and creates the illusion that it is possible to resolve Ukraine's deep internal crisis by passing such laws," TASS news agency cited Lavrov as saying.
