Still speculation at this point.
Here's Gabrelyanov's tweet, which says simply, "Ashot Gabrelyanov leaves LifeNews":
Our correspondent in Brussels says that it now appears one country might want to object to the fresh EU sanctions on Russia. No clear word which country.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko at the Ilyish Iron and Steel Works during his visit to Mariupol today:
Our bad. The deadline for objections to fresh sanctions against Russia to be filed by EU members was pushed back from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Brussels time).
President Petro Poroshenko said on September 8 that pro-Russian separatists have so far handed over about 1,200 prisoners-of-war to the Ukrainian side under the terms of a cease-fire agreement.
The two sides are meant to exchange all their POWs under the terms of the cease-fire deal, clinched on September 5.
Poroshenko was speaking during a visit to Mariupol, a port city in the east of Ukraine which the rebels advanced towards last week before the ceasefire took effect.
Poroshenko also said he has ordered reinforced defense of Mariupol with tanks, rocket launchers, and aerial defense.
Despite the truce, Ukrainian troops have come under fire from pro-Russian rebels on the eastern edge of Mariupol.
