While violence was meant to have ceased based on the agreement of the "Easter Truce", a shootout Sunday morning seems to have dashed the intentions of peace talks. The violence is reported to have erupted between pro-Russian separatist and ultra Ukrainian-Nationlaist. The predominate concerns circling the international community following the attack is the giving pretext for Russia to seize and tighten grip on Ukrainian territory.
With this "isolated" outburst of violence the hopes of demilitarization has been dramatically set back, according to Foreign and Interior ministries. Russian media is painting a grave picture of the Ukraine claiming it has a high propensity to violent, irrational outburst. Tension is high, but we shall see how relations play out in the coming week.
