Ukraine Ceasefire Crumbles, Fighting Continues In Donetsk -- Deutsche Welle
After faltering since it was signed on September 5, both sides of the Ukrainian conflict have said they will withdraw from the Minsk ceasefire agreement. Fighting has already resumed at Donetsk airport.
The shaky ceasefire in Ukraine fell apart on Wednesday. Both sides have accused the other of violating the agreement. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had already accused rebels in the Donbass region of violating the September 5 accords by holding their own election on Sunday instead of waiting for Kyiv to organize one for them in December.
The pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk, in return, denounced President Poroshenko for asking that parliament scrap a law that would have given autonomy to the restive eastern region. The law would have allowed the areas surrounding Donetsk and Luhansk a greater say in their own affairs and granted amnesty to separatist fighters. Poroshenko added the east would receive no funds from Kyiv until "terrorists clear out of there."

What do you think war news, as the ceasfire collapsed? Also now Poroshenko will not pay for Donbass and he will only supply gas to residents not to terorists, what does that mean?
Also some rumors that the separatists are talking about a new ceasfire, just to ask do you have any sources that you know who lives in the separatist controled area? Thats all the quesitons I have on this post.
WNU,
Usually I laugh when politicos pull out the authentic national costumes and "the book" at public events, but this has a little different feel about it, perhaps it's more in line with what you've been saying about the Easterners being cantankerously independent.
By the way are those stylized cossacks uniforms those guys have on?
You nailed it James ... including the Cossack uniforms.
