Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said that a buildup in arms supplies to pro-Russian separatists risks worsening tensions in the country’s easternmost regions.
“We are seeing more and more weapons, including heavy weaponry, in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, more possibilities for terrorists training,” Klimkin said in an interview in New York Wednesday. “There is an extremely high number of armed people there, those who must be disarmed according to the Minsk agreements. All that means additional risks.”
