NATO sees no real truce in Ukraine

KIEV: Ukrainian forces and pro-Kremlin militias were due on Sunday to pull back under a new peace plan, but the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) top military commander warned that there was a ceasefire “in name only” on the ground.

The warring sides are required to move back fighters and weaponry and create a buffer zone along the frontline that splits the separatist east of Ukraine from the rest of the ex-Soviet state.
