Ukraine PM says country still in "state of war"
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s prime minister says Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ultimate goal is to “take the entire Ukraine.”
Speaking at a conference in Kyiv today, Arseniy Yatsenyuk (ahr-SEHN’-ee yaht-sehn-YOOK’) says his country is “still in a state of war” despite a cease-fire between the government forces and Moscow-backed rebels in the east.
Meanwhile another convoy of Russian trucks said to be carrying humanitarian aid has rolled into Ukraine.
Rayan Farukshin, a spokesman for Russia’s customs agency, says the last truck crossed onto Ukrainian soil early today. He could not confirm the number of trucks, but news agency ITAR TASS reported that there were about 200.
Kyiv has so far been silent about the latest convoy, in contrast to the first convoy, which was termed an invasion.
