The leaders of Germany, France and Ukraine have called on Russia to pull its troops back from the Ukrainian border. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky proposed a summit that would also include Moscow which Kyiv fears is preparing an invasion.
The conflict dates back to 2014 when Ukraine's pro-Russian president was ousted in a popular uprising. Moscow-backed separatists have occupied the eastern Donbass region and Crimea ever since. Russia says its recent military build-up is a response to NATO threats and Ukrainian provocations.
Ukraine is gearing itself up for battle. The country's military is in better shape than it was during the war in 2014, but its firepower is no match for Russia's military might.
President Zelensky has appealed to European leaders to call on Russia to pull its troops back from the Ukrainian border. “It's not only our problem, that is the safety of Europe. When all the Europe will understand that it's safety for all Europe and will move together very quick.”
Zelensky met Emmanuel Macron in Paris and Angela Merkel joined by a videolink. Zelensky proposed a summit that also included Moscow, but so far Russia has refused calls to pull back, leaving Ukraine fearful of an open invasion.
