DW: Tentative ceasefire agreed for eastern Ukraine
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said a truce between pro-Russian rebels and Ukraine's army will start on Monday. But Kyiv has said it is "not at all" happy with the deal made at the Munich Security Conference.
Lavrov told reporters in Germany on Saturday that the recent uptick in violence in eastern Ukraine would come to a halt within two days.
"On February 20 the ceasefire regime will start and withdrawal of heavy military hardware will also start ... We have actively supported this decision and obviously expressed a conviction that this time, failure should not be allowed to take place," he said.
Lavrov spoke on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference , where a new deal was reached by Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France.
Earlier this month, eastern Ukraine experienced the worst violence since a 2015 peace deal brought relative calm to the region.

And what the scares the shit out of me is that this blockade by Ukrainian nationalists is putting Ukraine's nuclear infrastructure at risk. And not surprisingly .... no one in the West is reporting on this story. No one.
