| Subject: 'Thank' Putin: Shell kills boys playing football in Ukraine Thu Nov 06, 2014 1:43 am | |
| Ukraine's tattered ceasefire is under renewed pressure as shelling killed two teenagers playing football in rebel-held Donetsk and President Petro Poroshenko said he was deploying reinforcements to face a threatened separatist offensive.
In another sign of Ukraine's permanent-looking break-up, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced he was cutting subsidies to the rebel Donetsk and Luhansk regions, so as not to finance "terrorists".
A government source told AFP the measures will include scrapping pensions for hundreds of thousands of people living in separatist areas.
Although large-scale military action has ceased in the ex-Soviet republic since a September ceasefire was signed, sporadic artillery fire is exacting a daily toll, feeding fears that the truce will collapse.
