KIEV, Ukraine, June 16 (UPI) -- Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced Monday that a ceasefire would be imminent once the country's eastern border is secure.
"As soon as the border is closed, we could immediately proclaim a fire cease. It is irresponsible to announce a fire cease with an open border, given the situation in Donetsk and Lunhansk," the president told a National Security and Defense Council meeting on Monday.
