(12 Mar 2015) Tanks belonging to pro-Russian rebels were seen parked in a remote frontline village east of the rebel-held city of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine on Thursday.
The separatists have been standing guard, ready to engage in fighting if a cease-fire with Ukraine is aborted.
One of the rebels said he came to the region voluntarily, leaving his job in central Moscow as he wanted to help his country regain its territory.
"Bolshoi" (Nom de Guerre) said he's never considered Ukraine a separate country.
Since the cease-fire was implemented last month, both sides have accused each other of violating its terms.
