KIEV, Nov. 21 – The resumed artillery shelling of Ukrainian territory by Russia means that the Russian side does not want to start fulfilling the Minsk agreements, Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) said.

"As for artillery shelling from Russian territory, it means that Russia does not even try to begin to comply with the Minsk agreements. It continues to arm militants and send regular armed units into the area temporarily occupied by terrorists," NSDC spokesman Andriy Lysenko said at a press briefing on Friday.
