Ukraine Govt, Separatists Withdraw From Disputed Village
Latest pullback is the last expected before
Jason Ditz
The Ukrainian government and the separatist eastern rebels began the pullback from the disputed village of Petrivske. Fighters started pulling back on Saturday, and its not clear how long that will take.
Once this pullback is finished, all preconditions will be filled for a plan negotiated between Russia, France, and Germany for a peace summit inside the Ukraine meant to resolve years of unrest.
There have been several efforts to cobble together a deal wherein the Ukraine rebellion would end. This has tended to rest of the government both backing off punitive laws against ethnic Russian minorities, and allowing local elections with some degree of autonomy.
Though this has been proposed in the past, it’s failed as the government has been slow to repeat anti-Russian laws, and has resisted the idea of any free elections being held in eastern Ukraine without the rebels first surrendering and being arrested and prohibited from running.
