WARSAW - NATO SECRETARY GENERAL SAYS ALLIANCE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT NUMEROUS BREACHES OF CEASEFIRE IN UKRAINE
From Reuters:
Germany and France will present a new proposal shortly under which their soldiers could participate in the monitoring of the cease-fire in eastern Ukraine, a German Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday.
The spokesman Martin Schaefer said the plan would be presented in the "next hours or days" but added: "One thing is clear. Before German and French soldiers or others are sent to participate in the civil monitoring mission of the OSCE in Ukraine, there are some political and legal questions that must be resolved."
He said one of these questions was the role of the Bundestag lower house of parliament in approving such a mission.
