“The
Ukrainian government has introduced the state of emergency in the
war-torn south-eastern Donetsk and Lugansk Regions, and put all other
territories on high alert, Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk
announced.”
“According
to the PM, the move is aimed at providing the most efficient
coordination of all government agencies in order to ensure civil
protection and the safety of the population.The statement was made
after the field meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, which took place
at the headquarters of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Kiev
on Monday.”
“Ukrainian
forces launched a massive offensive in mid-January, but failed to
gain any ground despite employing tanks, artillery and aviation. On
Saturday, a residential area in the port city of Mariupol, which has
remained relatively insulated from violence throughout the majority
of the conflict, was shelled. The Kiev forces and the militias
have been trading blame for the incident, which took the lives of at
least 30 people and saw another 100 injured.”
“The
Ukrainian conflict began last April when Kiev launched a military
operation in the southeastern Donetsk and Lugansk Regions, after they
refused to recognize the country’s new, coup-imposed authorities.
The death toll in the Ukraine conflict has exceeded 5,000 people.
Over 10,000 have been injured, according to UN estimates.”

Putin:
“The
Ukrainian army is essentially a ‘NATO legion’ which doesn’t
pursue the national interests of Ukraine, but persists to restrict
Russia, President Vladimir Putin says.”
