As Ukrainian, Russian crisis deepen in the Ukrainian region of Crimea, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said there was so far no
agreement between Moscow and Washington on the situation in Ukraine,
after talks in Rome with US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Therefore, US military has also concluded plans of sending 12 F-16 fighter jets to Poland for a training exercise, Polish media reported.
US fighter jets will arrive at the Lask base, in central Poland, on Monday, the online versions of the Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita newspapers reported. A Polish defence ministry spokesman said he could not confirm the reports.

Pentagon said on Wednesday it would intensify defence training with
Poland in the light of the crisis in neighbouring Ukraine. [Reuters]

procedure to dissolve the regional assembly in Crimea after it asked to
join Russia, Ukraine's interim president Oleksandr Turchynov said.
"The
Rada (parliament in Kiev) will begin the procedure for dissolution,"
Turchynov said hours after the assembly in the tense peninsula adopted a
motion to become part of the Russian Federation. [AFP]
