The Kremlin dismissed the plan, saying it sounded like an ultimatum and lacked any firm offer to open talks with insurgents. Poroshenko, speaking during his first trip as pres- ident to the troubled east, said troops still would fire back if separatists at- tacked them or civilians. He stressed the cease-fire was temporary and would end at 10 a.m. June 27. "The Ukrainian army is ceasing fire," he said in a statement carried on his official website. "But this does not mean that we will not resist. In case of aggression toward our troops, we will do every- thing to defend the terri- tory of our state." EASTERN EUROPE Ukraine'sleaderorders 1-week govt. cease-fire By Sameer N. Yacoub The Associated Press BAGHDAD The spiritual leader of Iraq's Shiite ma- jority called for a new, "ef- fective" government Friday, increasing pressure on the country's prime minister a day after U.S. President Barack Obama challenged him to create a more inclu- sive leadership or risk a sec- tarian civil war. Grand Ayatollah Ali al- Sistani's comments at Fri- day prayers contained thinly veiled criticism that Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, in office since 2006, was to blame for the nation's crisis over the blitz by Sunni insurgents led by an al-Qaida splinter group that seeks to create a new state spanning parts of Iraq and Syria and ruled by its strict interpretation of Is- lamic law. Al-Sistani's remarks come as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is ex- pected to travel to Iraq soon to press its government to share more power. While al-Maliki's State of Law bloc won the most seats in parliament in the Iraq's April 30 election, his hopes for a third term are now in doubt with ri- vals challenging him from within the broader Shiite alliance. In order to govern, his bloc must first form a coalition with other parties. And with Iraq asking the U.S. for airstrikes to temper the militants' advance — es- pecially as the insurgents were said to be preparing Friday for another assault on the country's biggest oil refinery — al-Maliki ap- pears increasingly vulner- able. "It is necessary for the winning political blocs to start a dialogue that yields an effective government that enjoys broad national support, avoids past mis- takes and opens new ho- rizons toward a better fu- ture for all Iraqis," al-Si- santi said in a message delivered by his represen- tative Ahmed al-Safi in the Shiite holy city of Karbala. The Iranian-born al-Sis- tani, who is believed to be 86, lives in the Shiite holy city of Najaf south of Bagh- dad. A recluse, he rarely ventures out of his home and does not give inter- views. Iraq's majority Shi- ites deeply revere him, and a call to arms he made last week prompted thousands of Shiites to volunteer to fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Le- vant, which was once part of al-Qaida. Al-Sistani's call to arms has given the fight against the Islamic State militants the feel of a religious war between Shiites and Sun- nis. His office in Najaf dis- missed that charge, and al- Safi on Friday said: "The call for volunteers targeted Iraqis from all groups and sects. ... It did not have a sectarian basis and can- not be." Al-Maliki has been seek- ing to place the blame for the chaos on the Islamic State and not his perceived exclusion of the Sunnis. However, questions per- sist on how much support, if any, the Islamic State en- joys among the Sunni pop- ulation in areas it now con- trols. Ali Hatem al-Salman, a prominent tribal Sunni leader and a critic of al- Maliki, said Sunni tribes- men would eventually fight the extremist Islamic State. Using the commonly used Arabic acronym for the Islamic State, he told The Associated Press on Thursday: "Daash them- selves know that the tribes will push them out. ... There can't be any trust given to Daash." Al-Maliki's Shiite-led government long has faced criticism of dis- criminating against Iraq's Sunni and Kurdish popu- lations. But it is his per- ceived marginalization of the once-dominant Sunnis that sparked recent vio- lence reminiscent of Iraq's darkest years of sectarian warfare after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Iraq's newly elected par- liament must meet by June 30 to elect a speaker and a new president, who in turn will ask the leader of the largest bloc to form a new government within 15 days. Al-Maliki has been doing the prime minister job in a caretaker capacity since the April 30 election. While it is far from certain he would step aside, if he were to relinquish the leadership post, according to the con- stitution, the president as- sumes the job until a new prime minister is elected. However, the president, Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, has been ill and getting treat- ment in Germany since 2012. So the vice presi- dent, Khudeir al-Khuzaie, a Shiite, should assume the prime minister's job until one is elected.
