Saeed Khatibzade said in a statement on Monday night that Iran is watching closely the issues concerning Ukraine.
The Islamic Republic of Iran calls on all parties to exercise restraint and believes that any escalating measure should be avoided, he added.
He also urged all parties to make efforts to solve disputes through dialogue and in a peaceful framework.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday recognized independence of Donetsk and Luhansk and ordered the Russian Defense Ministry to dispatch “peacekeeping” forces to the region.
