Ukraine's envoy to Moscow met Russia's deputy foreign minister on Saturday for talks held in an "open atmosphere", the Russian foreign ministry said, as pro-Russian gunmen tightened their grip on Crimea. "On the 8th of March, a meeting took place between Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin and Ukraine's Ambassador to Russia Volodymyr Yelchenko during which, in an open atmosphere, questions of Russia-Ukranian relations were discussed," a brief statement said, according to a news agency.
