Er wordt aan toegevoegd dat het Oekraïense leger in de afgelopen dagen veertien soldaten zag sneuvelen, terwijl dertien soldaten gewond raakten. Het Duitse ministerie gaat er vanuit dat de pro-Russische rebellen met dezelfde verliezen te maken hebben gehad. ''Het wordt tijd dat er eindelijk eens zichtbare stappen worden gemaakt in Oost-Oekraïne.''
Dat vindt ook de Oekraïense president Petro Porosjenko. Hij wil maandag, als hij de leiders van Rusland, Duitsland en Frankrijk - ook wel de Normandische Vier genoemd - aan de lijn heeft aandringen op een onmiddellijk staatk-het-vuren. ''Elke dode soldaat vraagt om een vergelding'', aldus Porosjenko. Die vergelding zou er moeten komen in de vorm van nóg steviger sancties tegen Rusland door de G7.
