Tensions return to Ukraine. And the threat of a return to war risks having an impact on the stock exchanges. In fact, at least 24 would be the victims of clashes in eastern Ukraine between government forces and pro-Russian separatists, the most violent since the beginning of the truce signed last February 15 in Minsk. In the fighting, 14 rebels, five civilians and five soldiers died. This was reported by the Internazionale.it website.
The UN Security Council met this afternoon at 15,30 pm Italian time to discuss the resumption of fighting. The return of violence in that area breaks the truce requested by Europe, which had held for four months. The request for an extraordinary meeting was made by Lithuania, after the Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko, denounced the presence in the eastern region of the country of over 9 Russian soldiers. The meeting will begin at 15.30 Italian time.
