Tensions Flare in Eastern Ukraine Despite Biden Warning to Russia.
Mr. Biden met in Kiev with acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and other Ukrainian officials, saying the U.S. won't allow the multilateral agreement reached last week in Geneva to immediately begin easing tensions to instead become "an open-ended process."
"It is time for Russia to stop talking and start acting—act on the commitments they made," Mr. Biden said. "We need to see these kinds of concrete steps," he added. "Time is short in which to make progress."
Russia’s foreign minister Sergey V. Lavrov responded "I can assure Vice President Biden Russia is acting on our commitments, he only has to open his eyes, it's the West who is doing nothing but talking without offering solutions"
