United States Secretary of State John Kerry has stressed that the only way for Russia to avoid international isolation is by declaring ceasefire and by the removal of weapons from eastern Ukraine.

This conflict can be stopped but only if there is a ceasefire and weapons are removed, and all the parties sit down together at the negotiating table - this is the only way for Russia to avoid international isolation, he said in a joint statement issued with Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko in Kyiv on Thursday.
