Ukraine said pro-Russian rebels shelled the army more actively than at any time in the past six months and may be planning a fresh offensive amid wrangling over a fraying peace accord in the nation’s east.
“This intensity of shelling corresponds to active military fighting,” said Oleksandr Turchynov, head of Ukraine’s National Defense and Security Council. The military logged 153 attacks overnight, representing “a black record” since a truce was sealed in February, he said during a visit to the conflict zone.
