David
Cameron and Russian President Vladimir Putin held face-to-face talks on Thursday June 05,2014 for the first time since the crisis in the Ukraine.
The
Prime Minister David Cameron met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Paris at the Charles De Gaulle Airport
ahead of tomorrow's D-Day commemorations in Normandy.
It came after Putin was warned that he has one month to end Russia's destabilisation
of Ukraine or facing crippling economic sanctions.
After
the meeting David Cameron said he gave the Russian President a 'very clear
and firm set of messages' during the talks and said the current
situation is 'not acceptable'.
David Cameron said:
''This was a meeting with a very clear and firm set of messages, which
is that there is an opportunity for a successful, peaceful and stable
Ukraine especially now there's been a presidential election.
''But the status quo, the situation today, is not acceptable and it needs to change.''
''Russia needed
to recognise the election of new Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko,
stop the flow of arms across the border and cease support for
pro-Russian separatist groups''
''Russia's actions are completely unacceptable and totally at odds with the values of this group of democracies''
