Nuland's Call Discussing Preference for Ukraine PM ‘Mistake’ – Ex-US Envoy
Earlier in the day, US Ambassador to Russia John Tefft said that Nuland may visit Moscow in the near future.

In February 2015, a peace agreement was signed between Ukraine’s conflicting sides in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, after talks of the Normandy Four countries, comprising Russia, Germany, Ukraine and France. The deal stipulates a full ceasefire, weapons withdrawal from the line of contact in eastern Ukraine, an all-for-all prisoner exchange and constitutional reforms, which would give a special status to the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics.
