NATO Chief accuses Russia of continuing to arm separatists in Ukraine

NATO Secretary GeneralJens Stoltenberg has accused Russia of continuing to arm and train separatist forces in eastern Ukraine.
His comments on Wednesday at the NATO headquarter in Brussels came a day after NATO warships began exercises in the Black Sea.
Speaking alongside  NATO top commander U.S. General Philip Breedlove, Stoltenberg said: “We … still see Russian presence and strong support for the separatists in easternUkraine. We see the delivery of equipment, forces, (and) training.”
He said NATO’s priority in Ukraine would be to make sure monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) would be given safe access to the information they needed to observe the cease-fire in Ukraine.
Stoltenberg said: “Our main message today is that the OSCE needs access.
“What we ask for is both freedom of movement … but also that they get access to necessary information … The monitoring of ceasefire is by no means sufficient today.”
