KIEV (Reuters) - One Ukrainian serviceman was killed and five wounded in clashes between government forces and Russian-backed separatists over the past 24 hours despite a ceasefire, Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said on Saturday.

Violence has lessened significantly in Ukraine's east since the ceasefire was brokered in Minsk, Belarus, in mid-February, but both sides accuse the other of violations and casualties are reported almost daily.
