| Kiev accuses pro-Russians of breaching truce |
| 2014-10-06 |
| [Iran Press TV] Ukraine's military has accused pro-Russia forces of violating a truce they recently agreed with the government in Kiev. Speaking at a news conference in the Ukrainian capital city of Kiev on Sunday, military front man, Volodymyr Polyovy, blamed the Pro-Russians for killing two service staff and wounding six others over the past 24 hours. Pro-Moscow forces "are violating the terms of the cease-fire," Polyovy added. Meanwhile Eduard Basulin, a leader of pro-Russia forces, noted that fresh festivities around the government-controlled airport in Donetsk have claimed the lives of three civilians as well as three pro-Russia forces over the past day. He also accused Ukrainian troops of shelling Donetsk outskirts from positions near the airport. "The airport is a springboard for the city," Basulin said, adding, "Our main task is to push them (government forces) away from the city so that they can no longer shell residential districts." The remarks come as 12 pro-Russia gunnies were killed in attacks on buildings at Donetsk airport on Friday. Kiev and the pro-Russians inked a Russian-proposed truce pact in early September aimed at putting an end to heavy festivities in Ukraine's eastern provinces but the fighting continues unabated. |

| #2 Bearing in mind that 'truce' is pronounced in Russian as 're-supply'. Who knew Russian and Arabic languages were so similar? |
