Mr Putin said Russia would assist a dialogue, but stopping the fighting was a matter for Ukraine itself. Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of arming the rebels, a claim repeatedly denied by the Kremlin. "A roadmap will be prepared in order to achieve, as soon as possible, a ceasefire regime which absolutely must be bilateral in character," Mr Poroshenko said after two hours of talks with Mr Putin in the Belarusian capital, Minsk. Earlier this year, Mr Poroshenko declared a unilateral（单边的） ceasefire but accused the rebels of not following suit. Vladimir Putin: "Russia will do everything it can for the peace process, if it starts" Petro Poroshenko: "An agreement has to be reached to secure peace and freedom for Ukrainian citizens" Prior to their one-to-one meeting, the two leaders also took part in discussions with the EU's top diplomat Catherine Ashton. The summit came after 10 Russian soldiers were seized in Ukraine's east. More than 2,000 people have died in fighting between Ukrainian forces and separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk. The two regions declared independence from Kiev following Russia's annexation（合并） of the southern Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in March.
