Ukraine armed forces have pulled out of a railroad hub that has been focused for its fighting with pro-Russians. These two sides have been fighting for a few weeks for control of Debaltseve. A truce apparently was established Sunday, with rising problems and concerns it is not left alone. With 10 long months of the conflict in eastern Ukraine has made the tensions with Russia even higher that has not been seen since the end of the Cold War. This has been effecting trade and Russia's expansion into eastern Europe. CNN reporter Nick Paton Walsh said that with the loss of Debaltseve was a big blow to the Ukrainian's government and a win for separatist militants. The president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that Debaltseve was under their control and there was not any encirclement, the troops left in an organized and planned manner with heavy weaponry. Poroshenko also said to U.S and European Union leaders " a firm reaction from the world to Russia's brutal violation of the Minks agreement."
