Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ended a cease-fire with pro-Russian rebels and vowed to retake the country’s easternmost regions after peace efforts faltered.
Poroshenko refused to extend the truce he called on June 20 a second time, citing more than 100 violations by the separatists. Rebels killed 27 Ukrainian soldiers and wounded 69 during the cease-fire, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday.
