Ukraine peace deal falters as rebels show no sign of surrender

Pro-Russian armed men walk past activists hanging up a "Donetsk Republic" flag outside the mayor's office in SlavianskBy Richard Balmforth and Aleksandar Vasovic KIEV/SLAVIANSK, Ukraine (Reuters) - An agreement reached last week to avert wider conflict in Ukraine was faltering as the new week began, with pro-Moscow separatist gunmen showing no sign of surrendering government buildings they have seized. U.S. and European officials say they will hold Moscow responsible and impose new economic sanctions if the separatists do not clear out of government buildings they have occupied across swathes of eastern Ukraine over the past two weeks. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Kiev, where he is expected to announce a package of technical assistance. Russia, Ukraine, the European Union and the United States signed off on an agreement in Geneva on Thursday designed to lower tension in the worst confrontation between Russia and the West since the Cold War.
