Notably, tensions between Russia and Ukraine escalated since Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of Ukraine’s breakaway region on February 24, following which the western nations toughened sanctions against the country. Earlier, first round of negotiations between delegations of Russia and Ukraine ended in the Gomel Region of Belarus and the second round of talks will be held on the Belarusian-Polish border within a few days.
