(Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov (click here) said on Wednesday a ceasefire
agreed between pro-Russian separatists and government troops in eastern
Ukraine was almost entirely in place with the exception of the strategic
town of Debaltseve."The ceasefire is being observed along practically the entire frontline and in a few regions there is a readiness - at least the militia announced it publicly - to withdraw heavy weapons. The exception is the Debaltseve 'cauldron'," Lavrov told a news conference....
In some reports there is vicious fighting in Debaltseve and in other reports, President Poroshenko has ordered the withdrawal of Ukraine troops.
It is a shame really. The fighting is in eastern Ukraine. These towns were wonderful and now they are rubble.
