France 24: US-Russia to hold Ukraine talks in Paris

US Secretary of State John Kerry will hold talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov Wednesday in Paris in an attempt to mitigate mounting tensions over Ukraine’s crisis.

Here is a summary of recent events:

* US Secretary of State John Kerry travelled from Kiev to Paris to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and French officials Wednesday in an attempt to ease mounting tensions.

* President Barack Obama spoke to German Chancellor Merkel on Tuesday about a potential resolution to the crisis ignited by Russian intervention in Ukraine’s Crimea region.

Under the proposal, Russia would pull back its forces in Crimea to their bases in the region, limit Russian troop numbers to a Ukraine-mandated ceiling of 11,000, and allow international monitors to ensure the human rights of ethnic Russians are being protected, the official said.

“We may be able to de-escalate over the next several days and weeks. ... It’s a serious situation and we are spending a lot of time on it,” Obama said at a fundraiser on Tuesday night.
