On Russian President Vladimir Putin’s request, the upper house of Russian parliament on Wednesday canceled a resolution allowing the use of military in Ukraine.
The vote comes a day after Putin asked lawmakers to rescind his earlier request for using troops in Ukraine. He said that his move is intended to help support peace process in Ukraine, which began a weeklong cease-fire Friday.
Putin needs to show his support for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s peace plan ahead of Friday’s European Union summit to avoid further Western sanctions. The EU has warned it could introduce new sanctions that would target entire sectors of the Russian economy if Moscow fails to help de-escalate the crisis.
C’est quand même dingue, il y a des pays où l’assemblée autorise préalablement le gouvernement à intervenir à l’étranger !
