US envoy: 'hot war' not frozen conflict in Ukraine
By EUobserver
The recently appointed US special envoy on Ukraine, Kurt Volker, blamed Russia for the war in the eastern European country. "This is not a frozen conflict, this is a hot war and it is an immediate crisis that we all need to address as quickly as possible," said Volker on Sunday during a visit to Kramatorsk, a government-controlled city in Donetsk, agencies reported. He will also visit Brussels this week.
