(VOVworld) – Ukraine’s army will not carpet-bomb residences in south-eastern Ukraine, where Kiev has launched a military campaign to suppress federalist protesters, said Andrey Lysenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s Security and Defense Council press centre on Sunday. He said Ukrainian armed forces will only shell on or bomb moving vehicles, adding that Kiev will accept a ceasefire if anti-government forces lay down their arms and release hostages and the army takes over the border area.
