Panagiotopoulos’ sudden meeting with Akar in Brussels
In order to reduce tensions & minimize the possibility of a crisis new discussions were agreed on the adoption of military Confidence Building Measures
Draft 15-point agreement between Russia & Ukraine
The biggest problem remains Russia's request for Ukraine to recognize the annexation of Crimea & the independence of the two separatist regions in Donbas
Putin: At the beginning of the operation we asked Kyiv to withdraw from Donbas, but they refused
"The presence of our troops near Kyiv does not mean that we want to occupy Ukraine"
