MOSCOW
Russia accused Ukraine on Saturday of holding heavy weapons in its rebel-controlled southeastern region, in violation of the Minsk agreement, according to a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry quoted by Tass news agency.
The accusation came after a video footage of the conflict zone appeared to show Ukrainian army forces using D-30 howitzers with a range of 22 kilometers at a contact line between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian soldiers.
The statement said that the current state of affairs is against the cease-fire accord -- called the Minsk agreement -- over the crisis in Ukraine that was signed on Feb. 12 between Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany.
