Ukraine Rebels Call Cease-Fire to Match Government Truce -- Bloomberg Businessweek
Pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine called a cease-fire in fighting against government forces, matching a truce announced four days ago by President Petro Poroshenko.
The separatists’ decision may ease a crisis that’s left hundreds dead in the former Soviet republic and led to the worst standoff between Russia and the U.S. and its European allies since the Cold War. The breakthrough comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin prepares to visit Vienna today.
The prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, Alexander Borodai, said last night that separatist fighters in the Donetsk region would halt hostilities until June 27 as long as government troops do the same. In comments broadcast on Rossiya 24 television, Borodai said his group is seeking talks with the Ukrainian government before that date, when Poroshenko’s cease-fire is also due to expire.
