Die lughawe naby Donetsk in die ooste van die Oekraïne wat deur die selfverdedigingsmagte beset is, is Maandagaand deur vuurpyle bestook, het die Oekraïnse weermag bekend gemaak.
Die lughawe is in Mei reeds ernstig beskadig in swaar gevegte. Maandagaand is dit vier keer deur mortiere en vuurpyle getref. Niemand is in die aanvalle beseer nie.
Dis een van talle verbrekings van die wankelrige skietstilstand wat Vrydag tussen die Kiëf-regering en selfverdedigingsmagte ná vyf maande se konflik onderteken is.
Die skietstilstand is in Minsk onderteken voor die NAVO-beraad in Wallis ten einde geloop het, nadat die Russiese president Wladimir Poetin ‘n vredesplan aangekondig het.
Dié vredesplan het die oorlogskoors wat NAVO teen Rusland in die Oekraïne stook gedemp, maar ontleders meen Kiëf sal ongelukkig aanhou om die skietstilstand te breek om die vredesplan te probeer kelder.
Indien die konflik aanhou, is die kanse dat NAVO sal toetree groter, sê hulle.
Die skietstilstand is nie in die belang van NATO en sy gespuis nie.
Nie gedink dit gaan so lank duur nie. Die Tjoklit president gaan nou weer pak kry. Hopelik help Putin die rebelle.

The West advocate early ceasefires and national accords in practically every conflicts – those in Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Palestine – but not in Ukraine.
The former London-based Henry Jackson Society neoconservative front man Michael D. Weiss, who now runs the pro-Kiev propaganda site The Interpreter Mag, tweeted “if Scotland secedes, then Europe can expect to see a foreign-policy Venezuela created overnight on the North Sea. Putin will rejoice.” The ancient cross of St. Andrew which is called the saltire or Scottish flag, a white X cross on dark blue. St. Andrew converted to Orthodox Christianity under the Rus Prince Vladimir near what is today Kherson in Ukraine. The Holy Apostle Andrew according to tradition was martyred in Achaia (modern day Greece) on an X-shaped cross, because like St. Peter who died in Rome on an upside down Cross Andrew did not consider himself worthy to be crucified in the same manner as the Lord Jesus Christ. The X also corresponds to the Latin numeral for ten which in Biblical numerology derived the Ten Commandments. Today the St. Andrew’s cross is visible in the red and blue battle flag of Novorossiya seen on the shoulder patches of the Donbas soldiers, and on the naval ensign of the Russian Federation which flies over Sevastopol. Novorossiya first debuted its flag two months ago paying tribute to both St. Andrew and the Anglo-Scottish industrialists who founded Donetsk as a coal-mining center in the 18th century Russian Empire. It resembles the battle flag of the Confederate States of America (CSA), inspiring the Scots-Irish settlers of the American South who chose it as their battle flag.
