The European Union (EU) signed a free-trade deal with the Ukrain on Friday, while simultaneously saying that it could possibly place additional sanctions on Moscow, should pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine continue with their ongoing acts of insurgency past this coming Monday.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko returned to Kiev from Brussels where he signed the treaty. He then announced that the Ukraine had extended its a ceasefire against pro-Russian separatists by 72 hours until 10 p.m. on Monday.
