Kyrgyzstan's interim government has given security forces shoot-to-kill powers in a bid to stop ethnic fighting which has taken nearly 80 lives.
It also declared a partial mobilisation of the army to combat "destructive forces and criminal elements".
"It is an internal conflict and for now Russia does not see the conditions for taking part in its resolution," Natalya Timakova said.
