Aug 2014

Ukraine’s military says it has pulled out of areas east of rebel stronghold Luhansk under pressure from pro-Russian rebels who have, according to a military spokesman, received fresh supplies.

Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshenko, has condemned what he alleges is Russian intervention in his country.

“We have a worsening the situation from August 27 and thousands of foreign troops and hundreds of foreign tanks are now on Ukraine’s territory,” said Poroshenko ahead of a summit meeting of EU leaders in Brussels.

“This poses a very high risk not only for the peace and stability for Ukraine but for the peace and stability in the whole of Europe,” he added.
