Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Nolan Peterson: Putin’s war – the Ukraine cease-fire that never was
Ukrainian serviceman rests on the position of Ukrainian forces on the front line near Opytne village, not far from Donetsk airport after the battle with pro-Russian separatists on June 7.
The notion that the Ukraine cease-fire is still largely holding, or even being followed at all, is fiction. In the eastern Ukrainian village of Pisky, only six kilometers from the separatist stronghold of Donetsk, and two kilometers from the ruined Donetsk airport, the Ukrainian army 93rd Mechanized Brigade is engaged in sustained combat with combined Russian-separatist forces.
