Speaking from Kiev, US Secretary of State John Kerry expressed concern that the violence in Eastern Ukraine is accelerating, as Russian troops terrorize the area.
Mr. Kerry accused Moscow of lying about the supplies and equipment it is bringing over the border - saying the US has aerial evidence of the presence of tanks, rockets, troops, and "instruments of death."
The Secretary announced another 16 and a half million dollars in aid to Ukraine - monetary assistance he says is to be used specifically to help civilians in the war-torn East of the country.
He said that brings US financial aid in Ukraine up to 355 million dollars, in addition to two separate loan guarantees of one billion dollars each.
US Secretary of State John Kerry says Moscow is to blame for the continuing violence.
