Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko will meet government officials from conflict-wracked regions as he seeks to muster support for his proposed unilateral cease-fire amid reports of fighting in the east.
As the president prepares for today’s cease-fire plan meetings that aim to quell months of violence in the country’s easternmost regions, NATO chief condemned Russia for a new buildup of forces near its border with Ukraine.
