In a televised statement this morning, Putin (pictured) alleged that well-organised and well-controlled groups of militants trained in terrorist camps abroad, were involved in the unrest.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken does not expect breakthroughs this week in US-Russia security talks but hopes to find common ground on the crisis in Ukraine. Blinken wants good faith negotiations.
