Another update from our news desk:
A British parliamentary committee has accused the European Union and Britain of "sleepwalking" into the crisis in Ukraine.
In a report released on February 20, the House of Lords EU committee blamed Britain for not being "active or visible" enough in dealing with the situation.
The report also said the EU's relationship with Russia had long assumed an "optimistic premise" that the country was on the path to becoming more democratic.
The result, the committee said, was a failure to appreciate the depth of Russian hostility to EU's plans for closer ties with Kyiv.
The report said Britain had a particular responsibility to Ukraine because it was one of four signatories to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said no-one could have predicted the scale of the "unjustifiable and illegal" Russian intervention in eastern Ukraine.
