KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's military said on Monday two of its soldiers had been killed and 10 wounded in the past 24 hours, signalling that fighting has not stopped to allow a truce deal to be implemented.
Spokesman Valentyn Fedychev said Ukrainian forces had been shelled 27 times in the past day. Fighting has diminished in eastern Ukraine since rebels defied a ceasefire to capture the town of Debaltseve last Wednesday, but Kiev says it is still not quiet enough to allow it to withdraw artillery from the front.
