NATO fears all-out war in Ukraine

DONETSK, Ukraine: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) accused Russia of sending tanks, troops and military hardware to east Ukraine, raising fears of renewed all-out fighting and calling into question the Minsk peace deal.

Moscow denied the claims as “unfounded” and the deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Alexander Pankin, told an emergency Security Council meeting that the alliance was making “another foray into propaganda.”
