Ukraine’s government said Wednesday it's ending an Easter truce and is relaunching an "anti-terrorist operation" to eliminate armed pro-Russian separatist groups, NBC News reported. The developments, hours after Vice President Joe Biden left Kiev, raised fears that last week's international agreement on easing Ukraine's crisis was unraveling. "We have obtained the support of the United States, that they will not leave us alone with an aggressor,” Ukraine’s First Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Yarema said, according to Reuters.
