SUMMARY
On February.10.2015, Russian President, Vladimir Putin met with Ukrainian leader, Petro Poroshenko as they are wanting to end the violent combat in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine has accused Russia for sending equipped and assembled rebels to Ukraine. This meetings main concern was to set a focus on securing an armistice by withdrawing immense weaponry and creating a guarded zone. This meeting was called as 5400 civilians have died in total and 19 Ukrainian solider have died at the front in the past two days. The Ukrainian leader and President Vladimir were in conversation for several hours with their foreign ministers. Mr. Poroshenko said if Russia did not agree then the situation would have been more complicated. The human costs have gotten worse as 5.2 million people are currently living in areas of conflict.
CONNECTION
The connection I made with this news article is the pressure that Ukraine and Russia to fix this has increased because if this problem does not get solved then it will escalate. There was a similar conflict like this when Russia tried to seize the Canadian arctic region. Russia decided to drill a hole in the North Pole so that they could get oil and use it for there profit. However, Canada also had series of meetings with Russia and they have worked out their conflicts. they had come to the conclusion that Canada had to give Russia a sanction. Hopefully, Ukraine and Russia will also be able to come to an agreement on solving this conflict that Eastern Ukraine is facing.
