The international community condemns violation of the Minsk agreement on Ukraine

On the other part, Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin called her comments “offensive”. At the scene in eastern Ukraine, the rebels say Debaltseve is not covered by the ceasefire agreement reached last week in Minsk. Between April and July last year, this town was in rebel’s hands. It sits on a strategic railway line linking rebel-held Donetsk and Luhansk. UN council calls for implementation of the accord signed at Minsk. The council reaffirmed “its full respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine.”
