Russia's Lavrov sees 'noticeable progress' before Ukraine summit


MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday there had been "noticeable progress" in preparations for a summit on the Ukraine crisis but suggested there were still questions about control over the border.

Leaders from Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany are due in the Belarussian capital later on Wednesday to try to secure a peace plan for east Ukraine, where fighting between pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian troops has killed more than 5,000 people.
