Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Jordan expressed on Wednesday deep concern over the deteriorating security situation and increased shelling in eastern Ukraine after the relative calm that has prevailed during the past period, which raises the possibility of a return to full-scale fighting throughout the region.

Eihab Omaish, Deputy Permanent Representative of Jordan to the United Nations said at the Security council session that the illegal weapons flows into Ukraine violated the Minsk agreements, adding that any deferral of a political solution would exacerbate violence and worsen the humanitarian situation.

The Jordanian envoy urged all parties, notably armed groups, to restraint and to make intense efforts to prevent a worsening of the situation, stressing that shared challenges - political reforms, national reconciliation and economic development - could only be tackled by all parties.

"Jordan would continue to support the Minsk agreements. There must be no impunity or immunity for the perpetrators of violence", Omaish said.
