DEFUSE TENSIONS ***************************** Russian President said he hopes a permanent ceasefire will soon be agreed in Ukraine, after talks in Moscow with French counterpart Francois Hollande. French President Francois Hollande on Saturday became the first European leader to fly to Russia in an attempt to defuse the standoff with Vladimir Putin over Ukraine. A ceasefire was signed in September but there have been constant breaches. Russia has been angered by Western sanctions imposed for its support of pro-Moscow rebels in eastern Ukraine. Mr Hollande made his unscheduled stop in Moscow on his way back from a visit to Kazakhstan and met Mr Putin. Mr Putin said they had held detailed discussions on ending the violence in Ukraine.
