British PM to meet Putin this weekend, first such meeting since Ukraine crisis

David Cameron has promised to personally tell Russian president Vladimir Putin that he is plunging the world into a new Cold War. The two leaders will meet this weekend at the G20 summit in Australia - the first such meeting between the two since the Ukraine crisis erupted. Cameron said that Putin’s aggressive posturing lately in Ukraine pose a grave danger to Europe. He said ‘Russia’s illegal actions are destabilising a sovereign state and violating its territorial integrity. Russia is ripping up the international rulebook and disregarding the democratic will of the Ukrainian people to determine their own future.

This weekend has seen further shelling and reports of more heavy weapons moving from Russia into south-east Ukraine’. He added ‘There will be those who say that this isn’t our business and that we shouldn’t interfere. And some will argue that we can’t - that we have no influence to bear. But I believe both views are wrong’.
