The Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) calls on the international community to monitor the escalation of Russia’s violence in eastern Ukraine on the eve of the Christmas holidays.
This was stated by UWC President Eugene Czolij, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“The Ukrainian World Congress condemns the escalation of fighting and urges the international community to remain vigilant over this Christmas season and maintain pressure on the Russian Federation to reduce its blatant violations of the Minsk agreements,” Czolij said.
As noted, the UWC is "gravely concerned over the escalation since 18 December 2016 of attacks on positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces by terrorist forces backed by the Russian Federation in Eastern Ukraine, particularly near Svitlodarsk which has been the target of intensified shelling."
