Russian military action in Ukraine will depend on developments in Crimea, President Vladimir Putin says. Putin has not taken a decision yet and will send forces to Ukraine and recall Russia's ambassador to the US only after studying further developments, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on state television, dpa. "We hope that the situation won't develop as it does now, that is further escalation that threaten the ethnic Russians on the Crimean peninsula" Peskov said. -- SPA 21:17 LOCAL TIME 18:17 GMT تغريد
