Peace in Ukraine is currently playing himself in Minsk, Belarus. As in Milan in October, the summit brings together the Heads of State German, French, Ukrainian and Russian. Priority: to maintain the cease-fire in Kiev and the pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Absent in Minsk, the United States has turned up the pressure on Moscow today by announcing support for Ukrainian forces in response to the Russian assistance to the insurgents. An initiative presented by the Commander of the US Army in Europe, General Ben Hodges, during a visit to a base of NATO in Poland. "Clearly, given the amount of ammunition and equipment type, that there is a direct Russian military intervention in the region Debaltseve," he recalled. "We will deploy a battalion of soldiers to form three battalions of the Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior."
This mission will begin in March. The training will focus on assistance to the injured and their evacuation in the combat zone, but also on securing roads.
