In an inflammatory statement to the BBC yesterday, Ukrainian President
Petro Poroshenko declared that his regime, which enjoys political and
military support from Washington and the European Union (EU), is at war
with Russia.

“Can I be absolutely clear with you, this is not a fight with
Russian-backed separatists, this is a real war with Russia,” Poroshenko
said. He added that he expected renewed fighting in regions of east
Ukraine held by pro-Russian separatist forces in the coming days.
