Ukraine calls for increased international monitors at Russian borders

Ukraine called for the deployment of hundreds more international monitors in eastern regions amidst growing fears of the possible collapse of a ceasefire with the separatist militants, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Meeting with the Organisation for Security Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the Ukrainian president, on Tuesday, warned that rebels controlled large sections of Ukraine’s borders with Russia and asked the group to expand its mission to 1,500 people and 29 drone aircraft.
