Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk on Wednesday rejected a ceasefire plan proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin as an attempt to deceive the West about Moscow's real intentions.

"This latest plan is another attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the international community ahead of the NATO summit and an attempt to avert the EU's inevitable decision to unleash a new wave of sanctions against Russia," he said in a statement.
