NATO believes pressure on Russia must continue until Minsk accords observed – NATO official

NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow has said that attempts of Russia to hide the presence of its military and weapons in eastern Ukraine are ridiculous.

Vershbow said at the 9th Kyiv Security Forum on April 14 in Kyiv that Russia does not observe Minsk agreements and the pressure on Moscow must continue until all the provisions of Minsk agreements are observed, including the release of Nadia Savchenko and other Ukrainians convicted in Russia.

He reminded that over 10,000 people were killed due to the conflict in Donbas and around 1 million people had to leave their houses.
