02:00
The head of Ukrainian diplomacy, Dmytro Kuleba, announced that he would convene a 48-hour meeting with states-parties to the OSCE Vienna Document on the presence of Russian enemy troops near Ukraine. The Baltic states, on the other hand, asked the authorities in Minsk to explain the unusual concentration of armed forces in Belarus.
“Russia did not respond to our inquiry based on the Vienna Document. So we take the next step. Ukraine is calling a meeting with Russia and all states party to (this document) within the next 48 hours to discuss the strengthening and relocation of Russian troops along our border and in the temporarily occupied Crimea," Kuleba reported.
"If Russia is serious about its words about the indivisibility of security in the OSCE space, it must fulfill its obligations regarding military transparency to de-escalate tensions and strengthen the security of all member states," the head of Ukrainian diplomacy added on Twitter.
