Stoltenberg: Russia continues to support separatists in eastern Ukraine
According to NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg, Russia continues to support separatists in eastern Ukraine, Evropeyskaya Pravda reported.
“Russia has a special responsibility because it continues to support the separatists in the Donbas. We see Russian troops in eastern Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said.
"We are deeply concerned by the violations of the cease-fire. We are also concerned about the large number casualties in the east of Ukraine in recent days. For me this is a signal that we should do everything possible to comply with the Minsk Agreements. We must use all influence and make every effort to make sure that the ceasefire is respected,” he said.
NATO Defense Ministers are planning to meet on June 15th to discuss further assistance to Ukraine and Georgia.
