A Pro-Russian militant holds a Kalachnikov asssault rifle and smokes a cigarette in front of a tank taken from Ukrainian forces during fighting in August, as he and other fire their weapons in an open field, in the eastern Ukrainian town of Ilovaisk, some 40 kms east of Donetsk, on November 18 2014. NATO warned on on Novemeber 18 of a “very serious” build-up of Russian soldiers and weapons inside Ukraine and on its border as Germany's foreign minister urged Kiev and Moscow to respect a tattered peace plan.
