EU's Mogherini Detects Some 'Willingness' From Russia to Resolve Ukraine Conflict

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Wednesday that she and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had detected some signs of greater willingness from Russia to resolve the crisis in Ukraine's separatist eastern territories.

"We shared the impression that there might be some elements that could make us think that there might be some more willingness to solve the conflict on the Russian side, on President [Vladimir] Putin's side," said Mogherini, who is visiting Kiev.
