FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Protesters in Ukraine have called on President Petro Poroshenko to end the ceasefire in the country’s east and resume military operations there.
Demonstrators gathered outside the presidential office in capital Kiev on Sunday in protest against Poroshenko’s extension of ceasefire in troubled eastern regions.
The protesters were made up of activists and soldiers involved in the fight against pro-Russia protesters in the country’s eastern provinces.
On June 20, Poroshenko announced a week-long ceasefire plan aimed at curbing the violence in the restive east. The plan included an amnesty for anti-government protesters who lay down arms, and tighter controls over Ukraine’s border with Russia.
The decision for extending the truce was made after consultation with top Ukrainian defense officials on June 27, upon Poroshenko’s arrival in Kiev from a European Union summit in Brussels where he signed a trade agreement and a political association deal with the EU.
The Ukrainian president, however, warned the ceasefire could end any time it is violated by the pro-Russians. Both sides are accused of breaching the truce.
Ukraine’s mainly Russian-speaking parts in the east have been the scene of deadly clashes between pro-Russia activists and the Ukrainian army since Kiev launched military operations in mid-April in a bid to crush the pro-Moscow protests.
The government in Kiev says it is targeting armed protesters, but reports say many civilians have been caught in the fighting.
The violence intensified after Donetsk and Lugansk held local referendums on May 11, in which the residents of the two eastern regions voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence from Ukraine
