Deadliest bombing in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, a charge Kiev denied Moscow: tension rose a notch on Tuesday, the eve of a meeting in Berlin to revive peace talks stalled for several weeks. The Ukrainian army has accused Russian forces of attacking its positions.
"In violation of all previous agreements, the Ukrainian military units were attacked in the north (of the conflict zone) by troops of the regular army of the Russian Federation, said the spokesman of the Army Ukrainian Andrii Lysenko. Anti-terrorist forces arrested the movement of Russian troops. "
These charges are the first since the signing of peace accords Minsk on 5 September.
Monday, Kiev had already indicated that 700 Russian soldiers had entered the eastern Ukraine. What Moscow denied on Tuesday, calling the Ukrainian statements "hallucinations."
This tense atmosphere between the two countries coincided with an upsurge of violence in eastern Ukraine.
