WASHINGTON:
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke by phone with his Russian
counterpart Sergei Shoigu on Saturday after Moscow approved sending
troops into Ukraine following a bloody three-month uprising there.
"Pentagon
chief Chuck Hagel spoke to his Russian counterpart this morning," a US
defence official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Hagel
then went to the White House for a meeting on the crisis. Officials
said there was "no change" to the US military's presence in the region.
