(ANSA) - MOSCOW, MAY 14 - A Ukrainian soldier died yesterday in the conflict in the Donbass between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian separatist militiamen: the Kiev army reports, reported by the UNIAN news agency.
"A member of the armed forces received a fatal gunshot wound during enemy bombardment," reports the Ukrainian command.
Tensions remain high between Kiev and Moscow, accused of militarily supporting the separatists. In April, Russia concentrated thousands of soldiers not far from the border with Ukraine. This week - reports the AFP - Ukrainian Defense Minister Andriy Taran affirmed that "the number of Russian troops who have withdrawn" from that area "makes it impossible to conclude that the threat of armed aggression is over". "Russian military assets still remain close to our northern border," Taran said. (HANDLE).
