LONDON, United Kingdom – Russian President Vladimir Putin reassured British Prime Minister David Cameron in a phone call Friday, February 28, that he respects Ukraine’s sovereignty and said military exercises near the border were pre-planned, Cameron’s office said.
The two leaders also agreed during the call, made by the British premier, that “free and fair elections” were the best way to resolve the crisis in the ex-Soviet state, a Downing Street spokeswoman said.
“The prime minister emphasised that all countries should respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine,” she said.
“President Putin agreed, stressing that Russian military exercises in the area had been planned before the current situation in Ukraine.”
She added: “They agreed that the free and fair elections that the interim government has pledged to hold are the best way to secure a positive future for Ukraine in which all Ukrainian people are represented.
“A future that would not involve forcing the Ukrainian people to make a choice between Europe and Russia.” – Rappler.com
