Russia deployed heavy weapons in eastern Ukraine, according to Washington

Accusations of Kiev and its army for an offensive operation to Russia in the east of Ukraine are also brought by the United States.

The US State Department spokesman Jennifer Psaki said yesterday that "the Russian army had deployed heavy weapons and multiple launch rocket systems around Debaltseve where she bombards Ukrainian positions. We believe that this system of the Russian army, not separatists systems. (...) It is clearly not the spirit of the agreement reached this week. "

In Kiev, some are not satisfied with the terms of the Minsk II agreement and believe that the Ukrainian president has made too many concessions. This is the case of a battalion of volunteers who buried yesterday one of them. Its commander felt that the areas under the separatists, but also the Crimea had to be "liberated". "That's why we came from all over Ukraine, to liberate our land. We should recover all the territory of Ukraine, that way all our sacrifices will not have been in vain. (...) We do not support the cease-fire or any agreement. "

After 10 months of conflict, the balance sheet amounted to more than 5500 deaths. In case of failure of the cease-fire, Ukraine will receive military aid from the West, said the deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential administration.
