Russian Troops in Ukraine

A day after Russia held talks with the U.S in Paris, it was ordered the withdraw of a military group from the Ukraine border. According to the German chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian president Vladimir Putin, told her that he had ordered a partial withdraw of Russian forces from the region. Earlier on monday the prime minister of Ukraine said there had been also a partial withdraw of Russian troops from their border.

"This could be linked to a regular rotation of soldiers," said Dmytrashkivskiy. "Or it may be linked to the Russian-US negotiations." But in Crimea, the Russian prime minister, Dimitry Medvedev, said that Moscow would declare the peninsula as a special economic zone with tax incentives to attract investors.Crimean officials said that their economy is facing a shortfall and it needs economic stimulus from Russia. Medvedev promised to raise the level of salaries for municipal employees and pensions to average Russian levels and to modernise the region's hospitals.
