MOSCOW -- On Russian President Vladimir Putin's request, the upper house of Russia's parliament on Wednesday canceled a resolution allowing the use of military force in Ukraine.

The vote comes a day after Putin asked lawmakers to rescind his earlier request for using troops in Ukraine. He said that his move is intended to help support peace process in Ukraine, which began a weeklong cease-fire Friday.
