Kiev: Washington has urged Moscow to stop its “extremely dangerous and provocative” activities after Ukraine said it had destroyed part of a Russian military convoy that entered its territory.
US National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden warned yesterday that “the escalation in Russian activity designed to destabilise Ukraine in recent weeks is extremely dangerous and provocative”.
NATO accused Russia of active involvement in the “destabilisation” of eastern Ukraine, where pro-Kremlin separatists have been fighting against Kiev for four months.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told British Prime Minister David Cameron that government artillery had destroyed a “considerable part” of a small military convoy that entered the country, the presidency said in a statement. (AP)
