Russia proposes joint border control with Ukraine
Russia has proposed deploying Ukrainian and European observers at checkpoints along its border with Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin made the proposal during telephone conversations on Monday with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande.
Russia's foreign ministry said Putin suggested that both Ukrainian border guards and observers from the Organization for the Security and Cooperation in Europe be stationed on the Russian side of the border.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the plan will demonstrate that checkpoints are not being used as entryways into Ukraine for weapons and fighters.
During the telephone talks, Putin, jointly with the German and French leaders, urged Poroshenko, to extend the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine. The truce was due to expire on Monday. France's presidential office said that Poroshenko agreed to the proposed joint border control.
But Poroshenko released a statement on the presidential website on Tuesday stating he will end the ceasefire.
