Ukraine says won't pull back troops just yet

22nd September, 2014

DONETSK, Ukraine: Ukraine insisted Sunday it would not pull back its troops from the frontline until all sides cease fire under a peace plan aimed at ending five months of bloodshed in the east.

Kiev and pro-Russian rebels are supposed to pull back their forces and weaponry to create a 30-kilometre (20-mile) wide buffer zone in line with a reinforced truce deal agreed in Minsk on Saturday.

But heavy gunfire erupted around the eastern insurgent stronghold of Donetsk on Sunday, just hours after NATOs top military commander had said there was a ceasefire in name only on the ground.

National Security and Defence Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said the first point agreed in the Belarussian capital referring to a mutual ceasefire had to be respected before the rest of the plan could be implemented.

But the first point has not yet been fulfilled, so we cannot speak about the other points, he said.

If (Ukrainian forces) are withdrawn, it will be done simultaneously with the Russian troop withdrawal.

The nine-point Minsk plan is meant to reinforce a truce forged on September 5 in a bid to stem fighting that has claimed nearly 3,000 lives since April and threatened Ukraines very survival.

A rebel who identified himself as a member of Donetsk Peoples Republics military intelligence said Ukrainian forces were continuing to shoot on insurgent positions around the airport although the attacks had dropped off in intensity and firepower.

But when they fire we respond, of course, the man who gave his name as Denis told AFP. Each side wants to show the other they are still there.

The woman said she was talking on her phone when someone in a group of youths that was sitting behind her punched her in the back of the head for no apparentreason andfled.

"Somebody hit me very badly in the back of my head, really badly, like the roof fell down on the back of my head," she said.

Here's a look at some notorious recent incidents in the city that have been investigated as possible "Knockout Game" attacks:

PREGNANT WOMAN PUNCHED

In August, six-months-pregnant Brooklyn resident Jannatul Ferdous was walking along the sidewalk in the borough's Bedford-Styvesant section when a man walked up anddrilled her, according to the New York Post.

She was knocked unconscious, but neither she or her child were critically hurt, the reports said. The Post reported the attacker did not know her and the incident appeared to be random.

Woman, 58, punched on city bus, fears she was victim of 'Knockout Game'

"Somebody hit me very badly in the back of my head, really badly, like the roof fell down on the back of my head."

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Staten Island woman fears she was the victim of the "Knockout Game" after a young man sucker-punched her as she rode a city bus.

Kat, 58, boarded the S76 bus at Tompkinsville just before 5 p.m. Thursday, and was heading to the East Shore from work when the alleged assault took place.

She spoke to the Advance on condition that her full name be withheld, as she feared retaliation.

An NYPD spokeswoman confirmed that the alleged assault took place at about 5 p.m., near the intersection of Vanderbilt Avenue and Targee Street.

Kat was initially standing on the crowded, rush-hour bus, but found an open seat, and once sitting, became engrossed in her cell phone.

She had noticed a group of about seven or eight teenage boys and girls behind her, and at one point, she heard them singing or chanting something that sounded like, "dun dun da dun dun da," but, as she described it Sunday night, "My nose was in the phone the whole time... I was interested in the vote from Scotland."

A few moments later, she said, "Somebody hit me very badly in the back of my head, really badly, like the roof fell down on the back of my head."

Kat called out, asking who hit her and why, and ran after the group of youths, she said. At one point, she recalled, a girl in the group scolded one of the boys for hitting her, saying, "Why did you slap this lady with no reason? This is rude."

The boy mumbled a response, then slowed crossed the street.
