Posted on 17th Feb 2022 by rohit kumar

Clashes are taking place between pro-Russian separatists and the government in eastern Ukraine amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine. A report by the news agency Reuters says that in the last 24 hours, pro-Russian separatists have been fired by Ukrainian government forces four times.

 

Ukrainian military denied the allegations

 

The Ukrainian military has denied the allegations of the separatists regarding the incident. The Ukrainian military says separatists attacked government troops. However, it is not yet clear how serious these incidents were and how many people were injured in this incident.

 

Such incidents between the Ukrainian military and separatists have been taking place continuously since 2014. But this conflict between the two sides has happened when more than one lakh Russian soldiers are stationed on the Ukraine border and Russia is conducting war exercises with Belarus.

 

Separatists claim machine gun was used

 

In a statement, representatives of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic said that mortars, grenade launchers, and a machine gun were used by Ukrainian hair in four separate incidents. Separatists have said that Ukraine's armed forces have committed serious violations of the ceasefire by using heavy weapons, which must be withdrawn according to the Minsk Agreement.

 

Can Russia take advantage of the tension?

 

Experts say that such incidents between Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army in eastern Ukraine could further inflame the matter. This could further escalate tensions between Russia and the US. The US has recently said that Russia can attack Ukraine by making any excuse. In such a situation, Russia can take advantage of such incidents.

 

A peaceful solution to Ukraine crisis: US

 

The US has said that we are doing everything possible for a peaceful solution to the Ukraine crisis. But such efforts will be effective only if Russia removes the deployed troops from the border. The US has said contrary to Russian claims that Russia has deposited 7,000 more troops on the Ukraine border.

 

The US has said that Russia may be talking about withdrawing troops from the border and returning troops from Crimea after military exercises, but Moscow can attack Ukraine at any time and we are ready for any situation. However, Russia has consistently denied plans to attack Ukraine.
