Secretary of State John Kerry announced Thursday that Russia had agreed to a preliminary document outlining steps that would lead to de-escalation on the ground in Ukraine.

"We wanted to find concrete steps, not just words, but concrete steps that could be acted on immediate in order to defuse the situation,” Kerry said in Geneva, following the first meeting the Ukraine contact group in Geneva, which included Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, along with representatives from Ukraine and the European Union.

"All of this we are convinced represents a good day's work, but on the other hand, this day's work has produced principles, and it has produced commitments and it has produced words on paper,” Kerry added. “And we are the first to understand and agree that words on paper will only mean what the actions taken as a result of those words produce.”
