Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks to Start - Bloomberg:
"Ukraine’s new leader, Petro Poroshenko, will start talks today with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy about ending separatist violence in the former Soviet republic’s easternmost regions.
Poroshenko yesterday took the oath of office as Ukraine’s president and a day earlier discussed with Putin his proposals for the first steps toward a cease-fire. In his inauguration speech, he presented a plan to bring peace to the nation after more than six months of unrest that has pitted the U.S. and Europe against Russia in the worst standoff since the Cold War.
“I know that peace is the most important thing that Ukrainian people desire now,” Poroshenko, 48, said after taking the oath of office in the parliament building in Kiev yesterday."
