Separatist aggression nullifies Ukraine deal

Ukraine's acting President Oleksandr Turchynov said Tuesday that the seizure of another state building by pro-Moscow rebels in eastern Ukraine had effectively torn up an international deal to end the crisis in the country. The separatist capture of a police station in the town of Kramatorsk "put a cross through all the agreements reached in Geneva," Turchynov told US Vice President Joe Biden during a meeting, a statement from the presidency said, according to AFP.
