The rebel announcement was made in Donetsk by Alexander Borodai, a leader of the self-styled "Donetsk People's Republic" which is defying Kiev. On Friday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced a 15-point peace plan and declared a week-long truce. Mr Borodai was speaking after attending preliminary peace talks in Donetsk. The high-level talks also involved representatives of the other breakaway region - Luhansk - and Viktor Medvedchuk, an opponent of the Kiev authorities who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.[/quote]
Betting this won't last long.
"We complete week-long cease-fire in 4 days. Very efficient."

Cause right now Kiev simply ignores their existance, but here you go, first bell rings.

He is trying to resolve it peacefully and democratically though. He was given a broken country on the brink of civil war.
He is not Petro, he is Petr (Peter) Poroshenko. He is not hispanic jeez.
Good, if only serves as a couple weeks of peace
