Russian President Vladimir Putin has no incentive to interfere militarily in Ukraine and cannot be blamed for “inflaming the situation” that led to the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych, former Kremlin adviser Alexander Nekrassov told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday.
The United States on Tuesday voiced its "disgust" at Ukraine's repression of demonstrators at Kiev's Independence Square, Secretary of State John Kerry said.
The crisis in Ukraine has sparked concern among its European neighbours, especially those ex-communist states that were also once caught in Moscow's clutches and now fear Kiev's estrangement from the bloc.
