Ukraine Truce 'Broken 139 Times' On First Day

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Pro-Russian rebels have launched 112 attacks on Ukrainian troops, killing five, in the 24 hours since a ceasefire came into effect, Kiev has claimed.

Rebel commander Eduard Basurin issued a counter-claim that Ukraine had violated the truce 27 times.

Both sides are due to withdraw heavy artillery from the frontline on Tuesday under the terms of the ceasefire - but whether this will happen is now in doubt.

"Five Ukrainian troops were killed and 25 wounded in the past 24 hours," said Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko.

"112 incidents of shelling is not a ceasefire. So we are not ready yet to withdraw."

One the rebel leaders, Denis Pushilin, responded by saying his forces were "only ready for a mutual withdrawal of equipment".

The fighting has centred on the eastern town of Debaltseve, where up to 7,000 Ukrainian troops are trapped by a circle of separatist militants.

Rebels have offered a safe corridor out, with commander Eduard Basurin saying: "We suggest that the Ukrainian soldiers in Debaltseve stay alive.

"There is just one condition: that they lay down their weapons. We didn't talk about them becoming prisoners. Lay down your weapons and get out of here."
