Risk of escalation in eastern Ukraine `rising`: OSCE

Kyiv: The risk of violence in war-torn eastern Ukraine getting worse is “rising”, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe said Tuesday, amid fears of a return to all-out fighting.

“The level of violence in eastern Ukraine and the risk of further escalation remain high and are rising,” Michael Bociurkiw of the OSCE`s Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine told a press conference in Kyiv.
