According to the foreign minister, who is also China‘s ex-ambassador to Japan, this was the largest gathering of journalists he had faced since taking office last March.

„I am satisfied with his answers,“ said Andrey Kirillov of Russian news agency Itar-Tass, one of the hundreds of journalists packing the conference room. „He emphasized China‘s interests, but also repeatedly conveyed its idea of win-win situations through peaceful development.“

Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary State John Kerry have discussed the situation in Ukraine in a telephone conversation. During the call, initiated by Kerry, the two men agreed „to continue intensive contact with the aim of settling the political crisis in Ukraine,“ the Ministry said in a brief statement.

Of course this has Russia reacting with its own missile shield deployment in what has once again ushered in a renewed arms race.

Über 5.000 Menschen haben sich am Samstag neben der Regionalverwaltung von Charkiw versammelt. Sie schwingen russische Fahnen in der Luft, skandieren „Russland, hilf uns!“ und fordern ein Referendum zur Autonomie.

Deren Webseite ist openukraine.org. Die Partnerliste davon ist so großartig, dass ich das erst für üble Nachrede oder Satire hielt. Die war so großartig, dass wenn mir jemand Geld gegeben hätte, um eine möglichst rufschädigende Sponsorenliste für die Stiftung des neuen Premierministers der Ukraine zu machen, so toll hätte ich das nicht hingekriegt.
