Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov blamed the surge in fighting on the “aggressive actions” of Ukraine’s military, which he accused of trying to take territory from separatists in the Donetsk region. Troops crossed the line of contact separating the two sides, showing Ukraine is unwilling to adhere to the peace deal, he told reporters on a conference call.
