Russian leader backs armed OSCE mission in east Ukraine

‘The Russian president has voiced support for the deployment of an armed monitoring mission to monitor the truce in the conflict-torn areas of eastern Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin “agreed to the deployment of such a mission,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.
Peskov’s remarks follow Wednesday’s four-way talks on the Ukraine conflict between the leaders of Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine in the German capital, Berlin.
