KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko said on Friday there could be no military solution to the crisis in the east of his country and he reiterated his support for a measured decentralisation of power to the regions.

Ukrainian government forces have been battling pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine for more than five months in a conflict in which more than 3,000 people have been killed. The two sides have been broadly observing what Poroshenko described as a "very fragile but efficient" ceasefire since last Friday, despite sporadic violations.
