World leaders have sat down for the opening session of their annual G20 summit, with any
number of disputes and disagreements on the table. Host president, Argentina's Mauricio Macri,
said the solution was "dialogue, dialogue and dialogue" and called for a clear message of
shared responsibility.
But US President Donald Trump has already cancelled meeting Russia's Vladimir Putin over
Ukraine. And huge differences loom on climate change, trade and the Khashoggi affair.
Ukraine will not allow Russian men aged 16-60 into the country following the imposition of
martial law, Kiev says. An exception would be made for
"humanitarian cases" such as those
travelling to funerals. Russia says it is not planning retaliatory measures.
Martial law has been imposed in 10 Ukrainian regions until 26 December. This came as
Ukraine's president voiced fears of a Russian invasion after Russian forces fired on and seized
three Ukrainian boats and 24 sailors.
Ukraine said Sunday's incident in the Black Sea was a flagrant violation of international law,
while Russia says the vessels violated its territorial waters.
It is the most dangerous clash at sea off Crimea since Russia annexed the peninsula from
Ukraine in March 2014. He was referring to Russian-backed separatists who formed units in
April 2014 to fight Ukrainian government forces in eastern Ukraine.
Mr Poroshenko also said registration criteria would be tightened for Russian citizens in the
regions under martial law. On Tuesday, he warned there was a threat of "full-scale war" with
Russia.
"The number of [Russian] tanks at bases located along our border has grown three times," the
president said.
GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

@Lucky: That's true but I like the fact that Russia is not gearing for war rather they want POWER by all means.

@Ahile: If Russia wanted war or FIGHT they would have retaliated after Ukraine implemented Martial law which banned Russian men from entering Ukraine

Russia has never wanted war. They just protect themselves against the aggression surrounding them.
They know how Germany were treated after WW1 and the agreement that followed treating them like aggressors and losers of the war. They also know that only the US can stand them in a fill blown war
