The government of Ukraine demanded this Sunday () a meeting in the next 48 hours with Russia and all countries participating in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Vienna Document, after Moscow ignored ultimatum to respond in detail about its military activities near the border with Ukraine.
“Russia did not respond to our request under the Vienna Document on Confidence and Security-Building Measures, presented by Ukraine last Friday,” the minister said. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on his official Twitter account. “We demand a meeting with Russia and all participating States within 40 hours to discuss reinforcement and redeployment along our border and the temporarily occupied Crimea,” he said.
The Vienna Document of 660 on Confidence-Building Measures and Security is mandatory and must be complied with by all OSCE members. The head of Ukrainian diplomacy recalled that, according to this document, Russia “must report on the exact areas of its military activity, announce the dates of the end of the maneuvers” and other data such as the number of participating military units, the type of weapons and of the military equipment used.

Moscow has also recently written a letter to all OSCE member countries asking them to take a stand on what they mean by indivisible security in Europe. Russia claims that it has the sovereign right to station troops anywhere on its territory and, in turn, denounces the massive supply of weapons to Ukraine by the West.
