Canadian Defence Minister Jason Kenney (C) and his Ukrainian counterpart Stepan Poltorak (4th L) visit the International Center of Peacekeeping and Security in Yavoriv, outside Lviv, Ukraine, June 27, 2015. The West should not drop its guard over Ukraine, Poltorak said on Friday, saying a build-up of Russian forces in support of separatists showed President Vladimir Putin was bent on seizing control of the country. The country's defence minister spoke alongside visiting Canadian Defence Minister Jason Kenney as Kiev military chiefs reported intensified attacks by separatists in the east, despite a ceasefire, with another Ukrainian soldier killed.
