This tweet is not really related to any hard news as such, but worth posting to remind ourselves what a breathtakingly beautiful country Ukraine can be. Definitely worth a visit some day, if circumstances permit
Here's an update from our news desk:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has called for a new meeting of the so-called Normandy Group of four nations trying to mediate a peace agreement in Ukraine to be convened in the very near future.
Lavrov said on March 19 that he had already been in touch with the foreign ministers of France and Germany to urge that a new round of talks be held "to prevent the situation from deteriorating."
Lavrov's call comes after Ukraine's parliament voted on March 17 to confer special status on rebel-controlled eastern regions and grant them limited self-rule, but only after local elections are held under Ukrainian law.
The pro-Russian separatists and the Kremlin say the legislation violates the terms of a cease-fire agreement reached on February 12 in Minsk.
