　　China News Service, April 13th, a comprehensive report that recently Ukrainian government forces and civilian armed forces exchanged fire again, and the situation in the east has heated up again.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO for short) said on the 12th local time that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Couleba will visit the NATO headquarters for talks on the 13th.

　　According to the NATO website, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba visited the NATO headquarters on the 13th and will meet with NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg.

It is also reported that US Secretary of State Blincoln will also go to Brussels to participate in the talks.

　　According to reports, many senior Ukrainian officials have previously stated that full accession to NATO is still Ukraine’s strategic focus, which will not only strengthen the country’s military construction, but also strengthen the alliance’s military strength.

Ukrainian President Zelensky also said recently that Ukraine's accession to NATO will bring an end to the conflict in Donbass.

But the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova responded that Ukraine’s accession to NATO may escalate the situation in southeast Ukraine on a large scale.

　　On the 11th local time, Ukrainian government forces and civilian armed forces exchanged fire again in the eastern Donbass region.

According to the Ukrainian military, civilian armed forces in the Donbass region launched an attack, killing one Ukrainian soldier and seriously wounding another soldier.

　　Recently, the situation in eastern Ukraine has continued to be tense.

Ukraine said that Russia’s assembly of troops in the border area between Russia and Ukraine poses a serious threat to Ukraine’s national security.

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov believes that the military forces of NATO countries and other forces are becoming more active in the border areas of Russia, which forces Russia to remain vigilant.
