BBC News reported on the 19 May 2014, quoting a statement from the Kremlin, that Russia's President Vladimir Putin had ordered troops near Ukraine's border to withdraw. The United States and NATO said there was no indication that Russian troops had moved away from the border with Ukraine. On the previous day, military helicopters flew low over a crowd of Tatars in Crimea, in an apparent attempt to disrupt rallies marking Stalin's mass deportations. Mass gatherings had been banned ahead of the 70th anniversary commemorations by the new leadership in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in March 2014. NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on the 19 May 2014 that Russia’s partition of Ukraine had created “a completely new security situation in Europe.” |
