MOSCOW (Reuters) - The leader of one of two regions held by pro-Russian rebels said on Tuesday his forces were complying with an agreement to withdraw heavy weaponry from the front line in east Ukraine, Russia's TASS news agency reported.
"Yesterday I was on the front line and our tanks, our artillery are leaving. In fact, we started fulfilling our obligations last night," said Igor Plotnitsky, leader of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic. Rebels in the other region, Donetsk, have said they will not yet withdraw big guns.
