4. Ukraine's main task is to build army to stop Russia: PM Yatseniuk

KIEV: Ukraine's top priority is to build an army strong enough to stop Russian military aggression, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said on Friday, as the country's military reported more deaths in a separatist conflict.

Ukraine has accused Russia of sending soldiers and weapons to help pro-Russian rebels in eastern regions launch a new offensive in a conflict that has killed more than 4,000 people.

"Building an army, which is capable of stopping aggression from Russia, is the number one task," Yatseniuk said in a televised briefing with journalists in which he gave his recommendations for top positions in a new coalition government.

Increasing violence, truce violations and reports of unmarked armed convoys travelling from the direction of the Russian border have aroused fears that a shaky Sept. 5 truce could collapse.

That last bit is interesting, as IIRC the rebels in the East ended the cease fire some time ago.
