The U.S. Department of State has said that the U.S. is concerned about the high level of violence in eastern Ukraine, Mark C. Toner Deputy Spokesperson said on Friday.

"We are certainly concerned about the level of violence in eastern Ukraine, that it’s the highest we’ve seen since the September 1st ceasefire went into effect, with, I think, some 30,000 ceasefire violations, which is a huge number, in April alone," he said.

"OSCE reporting does confirm that separatists are largely responsible for these violations. We again call on Russia and the separatists that it supports to fully comply and observe the ceasefire," he said.
