“We are on the brink of an abyss, but President Putin still has time to take a step back.

We call on everyone to dialogue and call on the Russian government to avoid what would be a disastrous mistake for Russia,” he tweeted.

On February 11, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu held talks with his British counterpart with Ben Wallace in Moscow.

The head of the British Ministry of Defense called the dialogue with Shoigu constructive.

According to him, the parties discussed a number of issues, including ongoing tensions around Ukraine and a draft treaty on security guarantees.
