The risk of another major clash on the Ukraine-Russia border is high after the new shelling. Kiev reported the deaths of two soldiers on Tuesday. Ukraine has been fighting Russian-backed separatists on its eastern border since 2014. However, the tension has increased in the last few days. Ukraine alleges Moscow has suddenly increased its military presence on the border.
Moscow took control of Crimea from Ukraine in the region six years ago. The Western world has expressed concern over Moscow's activities on the new Ukrainian border. In this situation, the President of Ukraine has demanded the immediate membership of the military alliance NATO. The United States, the country's main ally, says NATO will take a coalition decision.
