"Recent events in Debaltseve clearly a violation of the cease-fire agreements that were signed in Minsk."
Under pressure for weeks, the Ukrainian army has relented to Debaltseve. President Poroshenko thanked the 'Ukrainian heroes' who fought to defend the city. This morning he spoke, his face grave at an airport in Kiev, before flying to the combat zone where he was to meet the soldiers. '' Our troops evacuated Debaltseve planned and organized manner. They removed armored vehicles, artillery guns, trucks. And today we have taken new lines of defense. ''
Taking Debalteseve was condemned by the West, on top of which the United States and the European Union. '' Recent events in Debaltseve clearly a violation of the cease-fire and agreements that have been signed in Minsk, said the head of European diplomacy, Federica Mogherini. The separatists and Russia must implement these agreements, and that starts with the cease-fire and the withdrawal of weapons. ''
Another reaction, the Russian foreign minister. Sergei Lavrov believes that aside to Debaltseve, the truce is globally respected in the east of Ukraine: 'The cease-fire is observed along almost the entire front line and, in some areas, it is ready - that's at least what the militias have publicly announced - to withdraw heavy weapons. The exception is the 'cauldron' of Debaltseve "and we are disappointed with what's going on there right now. Again, we call on everyone, including those who are Debaltseve, to stop fighting immediately. There are people who were surrounded, but their fate should be decided in negotiations. Think priority to human life. ''
