U.S. to Give $2 Billion to Ukraine as Fears Grow of Full-On War 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
The United States has agreed to give the Ukrainian government $2 billion
in loan guarantees as fighting increases between Ukrainian forces and
Russian-backed rebels. Three more Ukrainian soldiers reportedly died
over the past 24 hours. On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko
warned about the growing threat of a continental war.

Petro Poroshenko: "I will not mention clear and obvious parallels
between the events in Europe in the 1930s and present developments. The
threat of continental war is now great as never before. There should be
no doubt that the ambitions and appetite of the aggressor go far beyond
Ukraine."
