There were 46 attacks on Ukrainian positions in the Donbas in the last 24 hours, with some of them involving heavy artillery that militants should have withdrawn under the Minsk agreements, government forces said on Sunday.
While Russia has been continuously denying military involvement in the Donbas conflict and its support of militants, European leaders are to continue enforcing sanctions against Russia over its obvious role in the escalation in Ukraine’s east until the truce is fully implemented, Ukraine Today reports.
International efforts to achieve peace in the region are being made. A video conference is to be held on April 29th between representatives of Russia, Ukraine and the OSCE on the one side and representatives from the so-called Luhansk and Donetsk Peoples' Republics on the other. Discussion of all points of the Minsk peace deal is on the agenda.
