In a damning report published on Friday, a British parliamentary committee regrets that the European Union and Britain "have catastrophic errors" in their handling of the crisis in Ukraine. " She believes they entered it "like sleepwalkers."
These criticisms come at a time that a cease-fire between Kiev forces and insurgents in eastern Ukraine is threatened by numerous violations.
In this context, Petro Poroshenko Wednesday asked to send a police mission of the European Union under the mandate of the UN to monitor the Russian-Ukrainian border, the line separating Ukraine separatist territories. Apply cool reception by the European Union but Lithuania, she asked yesterday at the UN Security Council to study it.
Kiev has suffered a serious setback with the abandonment by his army in the city of Debaltseve, fell to the rebels. And that, in the cease-fire. A cease-fire violated "more than 250 times" since Sunday by rebels and Russia, deplored the US.
The territory controlled by the separatists is now relatively homogeneous, the junction between the separatist territories Lugansk and Donetsk being ensured by taking Debaltseve, a major railway junction in the region.
Despite the violations of the cease-fire, the French and German leaders called yesterday to continue the implementation of Minsk agreements.
