32 Russia sent troops and military equipment into Ukraine following the February 2014 Ukrainian revolution and Euromaydan movement. In February, during the political crisis, unmarked soldiers gradually took control of the Ukrainian territory of Crimea, which Russia then annexed. London-based military experts said the soldiers were likely Russian special forces (possibly including Spetsnaz commandos) and airborne units, and although Russia initially insisted that Russian forces stationed in the area were not involved, Russian president Vladimir Putin admitted in April that Russian troops had been active in Crimea and said this had laid the ground for the referendum.
33 On March 16, 2014 a referendum on the status of Crimea was held on by the legislature of Autonomous Republic of Crimea as well as by the local government of Sevastopol, both subdivisions of Ukraine at the time. The referendum asked the people of Crimea whether they wanted to join Russia as a federal subject, or if they wanted to restore the 1992 Crimean constitution and Crimea's status as a part of Ukraine.
34
35 March 25, 2014 the President elections in Ukraine Petro Poroshenko the new President 54,7% voted for him
36
37 In August, 2014, unmarked troops and military vehicles from Russia also crossed into the Donbass region, escalating the Russian-backed war against Ukrainian forces there. At the beginning of the insurgency, the prime ministers of Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk were Russian citizens; they were succeeded by Ukrainian citizens by August. Many of the separatist fighters are Russian citizens. The SBU claims key commanders of the rebel movement during this time, including Igor Strelkov and Igor Bezler, are Russian agents. Separatist leaders like Alexei Moskovoy visited Moscow and were evasive about who was supplying their weapons.
38 On September 5, representatives of Ukraine, Russia, the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic signed the Minsk Protocol, a twelve-point agreement that implemented a ceasefire. On September 10, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko said most of the Russian forces had withdrawn from Ukrainian territory, and that this heightened the chances for a lasting cease-fire in the southeast. On 13 September, it was reported Russia had sent a convoy of aid into eastern Ukraine without inspection by Ukraine, claiming this convoy was part of the ceasefire agreement. NATO said Russian forces were still operating in Ukraine in unknown numbers, and the ceasefire was not working. NATO said Russian forces were repositioning to bring great pressure on Mariupol.
39 June, 2014 the first meeting of Norman format of negotiation on Ukrainian issue in France. The next meeting was on October, 2016 in Italy The third was in February 2015 in Belarus were the Minsk agreements were signed

To equal distances to create a buffer zone of: at least 50km (30 miles) separating both sides for artillery systems of 100mm calibre or more; 70km for multiple rocket systems and 140km for the heaviest rocket and missile systems such as Tornado, Uragan, Smerch and Tochka. Effective monitoring and verification regime for the ceasefire and withdrawal of heavy weapons.to be carried out by the OSCE from day one, using all necessary technology such as satellites and radar. From day one of the withdrawal begin a dialogue on the holding of local elections. Withdrawal of 'illegal militant groups' from Ukraine
42 The EU and US have ratcheted up sanctions several times, tightening restrictions on major Russian state banks and corporations. 1. They have blacklisted dozens of senior Russian officials, separatist commanders and Russian firms accused of undermining Ukrainian sovereignty. 2. The EU sanctions announced on 12 September targeted Russia's state finances, energy and arms sectors. These are sectors managed by the powerful elite around President Vladimir Putin. Russian state banks are now excluded from raising long-term loans in the EU, exports of dual-use equipment for military use in Russia are banned, future EU- Russia arms deals are banned and the EU will not export a wide range of oil industry technology. Three major state oil firms are targeted: Rosneft, Transneft and Gazprom Neft, the oil unit of gas giant Gazprom. But the gas industry, space technology and nuclear energy are excluded from sanctions.
