Reuters: Ukraine under pressure from currency fall, gas supply threat
KIEV/MAKIYVKA, Ukraine (Reuters) - Ukraine came under increasing economic pressure from a collapsing currency and a threat to its gas supplies from the Kremlin on Wednesday, just as a long-awaited ceasefire took hold in the east.
As the truce appeared to be coming into force, the Ukrainian army reported no combat fatalities in the past 24 hours, but the news did nothing to halt a currency slump that forced the central bank to ban most trading before intervening to prop up the hryvnia.
WNU Editor: As the Ukraine economy continues to crater, I expect to see more of this .... Anti-government protest in downtown Kiev escalates on the streets of Kiev (ITAR-TASS), and more images like this.
