Peace talks held in Ukraine, pro-Russians not invited

Ukrainian leaders and civic representatives have come together to discuss a method that will end the current crisis in Ukraine.

However, pro-Russian leaders were not invited, the Kiev government demanding they put down their arms first and then discuss peace.

Correspondents reported that, although the debate was heated, on one thing everyone agreed and that is that Ukraine should remain united.

The consensus comes after the Donetsk and Luhansk regions declared themselves independent and are now looking forward to join Russia.

Also, 1 minute of silence was held for the seven Ukrainian army soldiers who died this week when pro-Russian caught them in an ambush.
