MARIUPOL Ukraine (Reuters) - Pro-Kiev authorities in Mariupol, a frontline city in the conflict between Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists, announced on Wednesday a night curfew and other restrictions for nearby towns and villages to help control rebel movements during a fragile ceasefire.
Some locals complained that the measures - which do not apply to the city of Mariupol itself - amounted to "undeclared martial law"; but others deemed them a necessary step enabling Ukrainian authorities to better monitor the shaky five-day ceasefire and prevent rebels exploiting it.
