Nato to decide new steps on Ukraine

Tuesday, 1 April 2014


Nato foreign ministers are due to discuss ways to help Ukraine and reassure allies in Eastern Europe, at a meeting in Brussels. It is the first time ministers from the 28 member states have convened since Russia's takeover of Crimea caused a diplomatic crisis. Nato has bolstered annual air drills being held over Baltic countries later. On Monday, Russia ordered a partial withdrawal of its troops from the border with Ukraine. It is believed to have massed a force of several thousand soldiers there in recent days, according to BBC.
