The leaders of G8 has eliminate Russian from the world economy forum of the acclaimed group as a result of Putin annexation of Ukrainian Crimea peninsula.
Previously before the meeting in Hague, Ukrainian Foreign has said his government was ready to defend its territory: saying that "we think that we could co-exist peacefully but we will never give up Crimea."
"So we will continue, we will strengthen our efforts in bilateral talks, we will strengthen our efforts together with the international community to return Crimea to Ukraine.”
Meanwhile the Ukraine resistance against Russian rule at the Crimean naval base of Feodosia has ended with Ukrainian marines being ordered to pull out by Kyiv. The withdrawal amounts to an acknowledgment of defeat by Russian forces who had stormed one of Ukraine’s last remaining bases on the peninsula.
Being surrounded for the past few weeks has proved a strain for the Ukrainian troops.
Russians used armoured personnel carriers and stun grenades to seize control of Feodosia, rounding up Ukrainian officers and taking them away.
“I can tell you that for the last month all of us and most of all our commander who is unfortunately staying behind in Crimea, we were all like coiled springs. Now I hope we can finally relax a bit,” said a relieved Ukrainian officer.
The said commander along with a deputy were reportedly kidnapped from the base earlier in the standoff.
Within hours of the order to pullout most Ukrainian troops had gathered their families and left.
